Get a head start on your holiday shopping or simply enjoy the atmosphere at Yulefest, the event that offers a taste of a traditional Nordic Christmas.
Yulefest is the annual Nordic Christmas celebration at the Nordic Heritage Museum. Vendors sell hand-crafted wares, and traditional Scandinavian Christmas food and drinks are sold. There is music and dancing, plus a visit from Santa, a raffle with fantastic prizes and a Silent Auction. Yulefest is a 39-year strong tradition in Ballard, and this year’s will be bigger and better than ever!
Yulefest is family-friendly event. Although there is a 21+ section where we’ll be serving alcohol, most of Yulefest is perfect for kids. There will be kids' crafts, visits with Santa, and the whole Nordic Heritage Museum to explore! There will be very limited parking at the Museum, with suggested donation of $5 to park. There is also plenty of street parking around the Museum.
