Tivoli Fest, The Danish Villages’ annual Danish celebration, is held Memorial Day weekend. Enjoy Danish foods and specialties such as smorrebrod, aebleskiver and medisterpolse. Tours of the Danish Windmill, Bedstemor’s Hus, the Danish Immigrant Museum and visits to unique gift shops add to the experience. Including the annual Tivoli parade, Tour de Tivoli, an entertainment stage and vendors, there is something for everyone! The Danes of Kimballton have been folk dancing since the town began. It is the longest lasting activity of our Danish heritage. Every year, practice has been held for various Danish celebrations, including Tivoli Fest, which some 60 people of all ages participate in.

Tivoli Fest 2014 will take place on the weekend of May 24th & 25th. The 34th annual celebration is themed “Denmark on the Prairie, Let the Festivities Begin”. We will be releasing a full schedule of the action-filled weekend, so check back often!
