Celebrate a beautiful Swedish tradition in it's 88th year!

Lucia Fest is a colorful, musical pageant, representative of St. Lucia, the bearer of light during the dark Swedish winters. It is a unique opportunity to witness this authentic holiday tradition, performed in a 300-year-old church built by Swedish settlers.

A Scandinavian Christmas bazaar - St. Eric's Fair - will be open before and after each showtime, with imported goods, food & drink available for purchase.

Tickets will go on sale online in October. Showtines are:

Saturday, Dec 6 - 2:00, 3:30, 5:00

Sunday, Dec 7 - 2:00, 3:30, 5:00

If you would like to be a participant, your children and you can find a place in Gloria Dei's amazing Lucia Fest.

Part theater, part rite, return to a gentler time of candle light; of faith and family gathered at home for the simple pleasures of this holy season as it was in times of old.
