There should be no shortage of Minnesotans interested in the traditional Scandinavian dancing and songs Sunday at St. Paul's Landmark Center.

There'll be lefse and Swedish meatballs and maybe even lutefisk. And Ole Olsson’s Oldtime Orchestra, of course.

Skandia runs from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday at the Landmark Center, 75 W. Fifth St. in downtown St. Paul, across from Rice Park.

Norwegian, Finnish, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic. All are represented and, with the high percentage of folks of Scandinavian heritage in these parts, Skandia continues to be a popular attraction.

Last year, the Viking encampment (not the football team) featured costumed performers showing how those rough and tumble Scandinavian explorers/raiders lived, slept and worked a thousand years ago.

Staying "in character," some of the faux Vikings heard that reindeer were outside, entertaining the children. "Umm. Good. We eat reindeer," one said.

The Landmark Center, once a federal building and Post Office, was on the verge of destruction in the 1970s until a strong-willed and politically connected group of citizens stepped in. It's now the home of many arts groups, museums and a regular slate of performances in its impressive, high-ceilinged cortile.

If the weather's nice Sunday, check out the outdoor public skating rink next door. Skating is free and rental skates are available.

Rice Park has been festively decorated, too, with a giant Christmas tree on the library side.

Cost is $5 for adults; $3 for children and seniors. Here's a full schedule of events.
