Join us for Spelmansstämman as we celebrate the long-held Swedish folk music tradition of the immigrant fiddle. This celebration is based on an outdoor gathering (stamma) of Swedish fiddlers (spelman) to share music, friendship, and cultural traditions.

The festival opens at 1 pm with the traditional parade of folk musicians, followed by performances from each group. Come early (10 am – 12 pm) for a free tour of Gammelgården’s historic buildings, and pack a picnic lunch to enjoy on the museum grounds.

• 10 am – Historic buildings, exhibits, and art fair open
• 11:00 am – Games available. Hoop rolling, corn hole, Dala croquet, and more
• 12:45 – Historic buildings and games close
• 1:00 – Parade of musicians and program, treats available in the gazebo
• 2:30 – Program closes, historic buildings re-open, treats in the gazebo continue
• 4:00 – Gammelgården closes

Scandia Heritage Alliance will once again join forces with Gammelgården Museum to co-present Spelmansstämman, hosting a Scandia History Series during the event.
