Be the reason your community stays informed—give to local journalism now! DECORAH —Nordic Fest is just around the corner—and organizers are calling on community members to help make this year's celebration another unforgettable experience. Volunteers are a vital part of what makes Nordic Fest run smoothly. While many area non-profits organize their own volunteers for various food booths and activities, the Nordic Fest Board of Directors specifically seeks volunteers for key areas they oversee: The Lefse Booth, The Beverage Garden and Nordic Fest Headquarters. Opportunities include selling merchandise and welcoming visitors. They additionally would love extra hands to help with physical management, moving various items around the Fest for activities and events. There are a wide variety of opportunities available to suit all ages, abilities and schedules. "We truly rely on the generosity of volunteers to bring Nordic Fest to life," said Cole Steffen, 2025 President of the Nordic Fest Board of Directors. "It's a great way to connect with others, celebrate our community's heritage, and have a lot of fun in the process." This year's festival will take place July 24-26, 2025, in downtown Decorah. Volunteers can sign up for one or more time slots and roles, depending on their interests and availability. Community groups, families, and individuals are all welcome to participate. To view volunteer opportunities and sign up, visit https://nordicfest.com/volunteer or email nordicfestia@gmail.com. Nordic Fest thanks all past and future volunteers for the many ways they help sustain this beloved celebration of Scandinavian culture and community spirit. Don't miss out on important updates!
