Norsk Høstfest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norsk Høstfest (Norwegian language: "Norwegian Autumn Festival") is an annual festival held each October in Minot, North Dakota. It is the largest Scandinavian cultural festival in North America. Altogether it hosts cultural touchstones from Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Greenland, Åland, Faeroe Islands, German-speaking Europe and the Netherlands.
The Høstfest takes place on the state fairgrounds in Minot every October. Much like the state fair, there are several headliner acts booked each night of the event, not limited to the event's Scandinavian theme; Bill Cosby, among others, have performed at Høstfest. Headliners for the October 10–October 14, 2006 festival included Neil Sedaka, George Jones, Terri Clark, and Tim Conway & Harvey Korman. Performers on other stages include The Oak Ridge Boys, Williams and Ree, Haugaard & Høirup from Denmark and Bjøro Haaland from Norway.
