    Thanks maybe to something mythical, the sky cleared up and remained beautiful from PARADE time Saturday until 4pm on SUNDAY, then the tornado warnings went off but luckily we had only winds and rain and shortly resumed our evening concert! What a great FEST weekend it was.

    I grew up here, lived away and am now back - which is the story for a lot of Spring Grove residents. Once you visit, it's imprinted in your heart. Syttende Mai is a perfect time to stroll the streets where the first Minnesota Norwegian settlers walked. And if you're not Norwegian, you'll still fall in love with it's peacefulness, friendly people and artistic offerings.

    Spring Grove is a terrific little city bursting with Norwegian-American culture. It is a welcoming place with family-friendly events planned during the annual Syttende Mai celebration. Even if you're not Norske, you just might learn a bit of Norwegian language or become a fan of rommegrot after a visit!
