Coming soon: FinnFest 2014 is coming to
Minneapolis, Minnesota. This year’s theme — “the 150th
Anniversary of the Start of Modern Finnish Immigration to North
America.” It’ll be at Hyatt
Regency Hotel and Conference Center, from August 4-10.
Pre-conference days feature forums, a
genealogy workshop and a guided tour to Cokato, Minnesota (the longest continuous Finnish-American community in North
America) and special FinnFest seating at a Twins baseball game August 5.
August 7-10
feature lectures on a
wide variety of topics, panel discussions, music from folk to
classical (mingled with world, jazz, pop and rock). Shop at the tori, for Finnish arts, crafts, books and specialties.
Special art exhibits —
Minneapolis Institute of Arts, American Swedish
Institute and Textile Center. Special expeditions —
a river cruise, the tour of Cokato, the Twins game.
Tickets were priced to include families so children ages 16 and under are free, and Saturday and Sunday are Family
Days. For adults, tickets are $35 for one day, $60 for any two days, $80 for all
four days. Sounds like a great deal — so get your tickets early.
