The official Dedication of the new Astoria Nordic Heritage Park will take place Friday June 17th immediately preceding the opening of the Astorian Scandinavian Midsummer Festival.

Music and entertainment start at 10 AM. The short ceremony begins at 10:30 AM and will include dancers in Nordic folk wear costumes, lur call, flags and anthems, a few speakers, and a ceremony where ASHA gifts the park to the City of Astoria and the community.

PARKING: Please park south of Marine Drive and leave the Columbia River Maritime Museum parking lot available for their guests. Carpooling is recommended. There will be a drop off zone on Marine Drive adjacent to the park. There will be bleacher seating and 300 chairs will be set up next to the Riverwalk. First come, first served.

Support our local Nordic community groups and our cultural heritage by making time to join this important community event.
