Santa Cruz, California, 95060 (831) 425-9725 The Scandinavian Cultural Center of Santa Cruz is dedicated to preserving and promoting the culture and heritage of the Nordic countries of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Saami culture. Normally, there is a cultural event held the first Friday of each month (except July and August) at Viking Hall. The Cultural Center hosts a variety of programs open to the entire community throughout the year. We have speakers, musicians, dancers, seminars, a lending library containing many items of cultural interest, actors, and opportunities for sharing stories and artifacts from our immigrant parents, grandparents and forebears. | ||
