Nordic Easter Crafts 2026

Join us for a festive morning of Nordic Easter crafts and traditions! This event is open to all ages (and egg-painting skill levels) and will invite you to explore a variety of Scandinavian traditions to celebrate one of the region’s most beloved holidays.

Activities will include…

• Making påskris (Swedish Easter trees), twigs embellished with colorful ribbons and feathers, that symbolize the end of the cold season and the beginning of spring
• Dressing up as Easter witches (påskkärringar/påskhäxor) a tradition where children (or children at heart) dress up as witches and exchange drawings and cards for treats
• Creating yellow candles, which decorate Scandinavian homes during the season

Bring your creativity, your friends, and maybe a smock or two—get ready to make some crafts to take home and relish in the påskestemning (a Norwegian word to describe the festive Easter atmosphere)!

Ages: Recommended for ages 6 and up (younger kids welcome with adult help)

Tickets: $10 members / $20 non-members

Space is limited, so reserve your spot early!
