Julefest

Begin celebrating the holiday season at The Danish Immigrant Museum!

Julefest  is an annual celebration held in the Danish Villages of Elk Horn-Kimballton on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday immediately following Thanksgiving.  Both communities will be festively decorated for Christmas.  The Kimballton Town Hall will host "A Prairie Christmas" boutique and quilt sale where over 30 folk artists will be displaying and selling their works.  Meanwhile, at the Elk Horn Town Hall, crafters will be selling their goods at the "Main Street Country Boutique."  Sample glögg and wine while shopping at the Danish Windmill.

Elk Horn's Volunteer Fire Department will host the Better Elk Horn Club's FREE annual pancake supper on Saturday evening from 5 - 7 p.m.  The new Thirsty Mermaids Brew Cafe opens on Elk Horn's Main street and will be brewing up a menu of Ice cream, home made pizza and other treats.   Friday 5-7 PM at the new Vittles kids eat for free with purchase of an adult meal.  Many more events and activities throughout the weekend!

At the museum we invite you to enjoy home-baked cookies, gløgg, coffee and lemonade in the museum's “hyggelig julestue" on Friday and Saturday.  We have a LEGO play area and there will be crafts for the kids . . . both young and old .... Fun for the entire family! Learn how to make your own christmas card, or make traditional Danish decorations.
