PLEASE NOTE THE CORRECTION TO THE TIME - THIS EVENT BEGINS AT 11 AM

To increase awareness of Nordic Culture and advertise the upcoming Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival, the Festival Committee is sponsoring a 3rd Annual Stationary Optog on Saturday, June 11th (the weekend before Festival).

All the Nordic Lodges from Astoria will be out with their flags and traditional costumes to wave and greet drivers on Marine Drive, between 16th and 17th Streets in Astoria (just in front of our own most excellent Columbia River Maritime Museum).

Being Astorians, people will show rain or shine, so please support our Nordic communities by joining in or honking enthusiastically as you drive by on Saturday.

PARKING FOR PARTICIPANTS: please park up on Duane or Commercial streets, and please avoid parking in the Maritime Museum lot - the Museum has been supportive of this event, but we need to keep the Museum lot open for their visitors.
