The Vikings of Bjornstad

Norway Day Festival
Fort Mason, San Francisco, California
Norway Day celebrates all things Norwegian and is attended by 5,000 annually, staffed entirely by volunteers.  Here's the link to their web page.  The main purposes of the festival are:
1) To promote and maintain a mutually satisfactory relationship between Norway and the USA.
2) To help descendants of Norwegian immigrants appreciate and retain contact with their heritage.
3) To promote "Modern Norway" by calling attention to all the good things that have been accomplished by the "Norway Today," especially in the areas of technology, ecology, and world diplomacy.

The Vikings of Bjornstad have been a part of the festival for the last few years.  Here are some photos from those festivals.
