Scandinavian folk music and dance opportunities abound in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the surrounding area. If you're looking for places to cut a rug, play a tune, or sing a song, you're at the right place. The same goes if you're looking to hire someone to entertain at your wedding, festival, or other event. If we've missed a group, artist, jam, or festival, kindly let us know.
