Honor the Journey, Embrace New Horizons
Wednesday | June 18, 2025
Midtsommer has long been a time of celebration—a perfect moment to honor the centuries of Norwegians who crossed vast distances, navigating with the stars towards a brighter future.
Today, that same spirit of exploration lives on as Norway House and Minnesota—the North Star State—continue to shape the future of the United States and Norway. We invite you to celebrate with us and support our mission, as we chart the course towards New Horizons.
