SWEA Los Angeles Annual Christmas Fair

 

Welcome to SWEA Los Angeles 38th Annual Swedish Christmas Fair! The fair has something to offer everyone. A great selection of genuine Swedish handicrafts – jewelry, fine art, toys, and Christmas collectibles – will take care of all your holiday shopping.

You can enjoy vibrant folk dancing (and try it out for yourself) and the radiant Lucia pageant and her choir performs twice during the day, at 12 noon and at 3 PM. When you get hungry there is plenty of traditional holiday foods and baked goods to choose from, including our very own mulled spiced glögg.

Children have their own fun corner where they can say hello to Santa and create crafts to take home. As usual, there will be a raffle with a special grand prize. We have this year combined the two popular booths: the Second Hand Book Shop and White Reindeer Sale where you are sure to make some great bargains on all things Scandinavian.

The Christmas Fair is an non-profit, all volunteer work force event! Proceeds go to educational scholarships.

Lucia Pageant (12 PM and 3 PM)
Swedish Food
Glögg Bar
