One of the most talked-about moments from this year's Scandinavian Days wasn't just the celebration, it was this incredible photo!

After so many people told us how much they loved it, we decided to have a limited number of 5x7 metal prints made. These beautiful, high-quality prints are now available for $25 each.

Even better? Every dollar raised will go directly toward supporting the 2027 Scandinavian Days festivities, helping us continue the traditions and create new memories for our community.

✨ Limited quantity available. Once they're gone, they're gone!

Stop by the Story City Greater Chamber Connection, a Main Street Partner office to purchase yours and take home a special piece of Scandinavian Days while supporting the future of this amazing community tradition.

Opening Ceremonies officially kicked off the celebration with energy, pride, and community spirit shining brighter than ever. From the presentation of colors to the powerful moments of reflection and tradition, it was a reminder of what makes Story City so special. Our people, our history, and our shared sense of belonging.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make the Opening Ceremonies so meaningful and memorable.

Enjoy the photos and relive the moment!

What a day to remember! The first-ever Stanhope State University Lutefisk Eating Contest made its official debut at Scandinavian Days and let’s just say… it was equal parts bravery, tradition, and a whole lot of lutefisk!

Contestants showed up ready (and maybe slightly questioning their life choices) as they took on the challenge of this legendary Scandinavian dish. The crowd brought the energy, the laughs were nonstop, and the competition was nothing short of unforgettable.

A huge thank you to Stanhope State University for bringing this wild and wonderful idea to life and helping kick off what we hope becomes a new Scandinavian Days tradition!

Check out the photos to relive every hilarious, heroic, and slightly questionable bite.

We can’t wait to see what next year brings!
