About the Festival
Since 1982, the Naselle Finnish American Folk Festival has celebrated Finnish culture, local history, and community collaboration. This is a chance to showcase local craftspeople, experience performers from Finland and the United States, indulge in traditional cuisine, and learn about the Finnish-American heritage of the greater Naselle area. All ages can participate in dances, musical ensembles, competitive games and athletic events, and specialized learning activities. Hosted biennially at Naselle Grays-River Valley School, the 20th Festival will be held July 29-31, 2022.
