Fastelavn

Celebrate the Carnival season in the Nordic fashion with this family-friendly day at Nordia House!

Join us on Sunday, February 15, 2026 for an afternoon of crafts, games, fastelavnsboller, snacks, beverages, hilarities and a costume contest!

Fastelavn is a Nordic Carnival in which children and adults alike dress up and have fun for a day! This February holiday falls before Lent season during a time of festivities and celebration. Throw on your favorite costume for our costume contest, play games, make 'fastelavnsris' (decorative tree branches), and 'slå katten af tønden' (hit the cat out of the barrel). Who will be crowned  'kattekonge' (king of cats), and 'kattedronning' (queen of cats)? Let's find out!
