Thanks all for a successful 2023 event. We’re back for 2024, details available here and here.

Anyone who has been to a church basement in the Midwest has likely encountered the Norwegian American tradition of the lutefisk dinner. Now you have a chance to have an upscale, gourmet lutefisk experience like it is in modern Norway!

The inaugural Twin Cities Lutefisk Festival—hosted at Norway House—will welcome award-winning Norwegian chef, Rune Veslum, and his team to prepare lutefisk the “Norwegian way,” with traditional sides. Beer, aquavit, and other alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages will be available.

Doors open at 6:00pm. Entertainment and cash bar. Dinner service will begin at 7:00pm.

Free parking available.
