Lyngblomsten Mid-Summer Festival
Lyngblomsten held its first summer festival over 100 years ago in 1913 to pay tribute to Anna Quale Fergstad, the nonprofit’s founder and first president. This year, the celebration will feature a number of activities, including the following:
- An arts showcase featuring paintings, sketches, pottery, and other pieces created by Lyngblomsten residents, tenants, and community participants over the past year.
- Make-and-take art activities led by organizations that Lyngblomsten partners with throughout the year, including Northern Clay Center, the Polymer Clay Guild of Minnesota, Art with Heart, COMPAS, artist Jan Gunderson, and the Weavers Guild of Minnesota. All Festival attendees can participate in these activities!
- Live music and entertainment featuring organizations that Lyngblomsten partners with throughout the year, including the Minnesota Opera, Lakeshore Players Theatre, COMPAS, MacPhail Center for Music, Kairos Alive!, HealthRHYTHMSTM Drumming, and the Alzheimer’s Poetry Project of Minnesota.
- An indoor Wellness Lounge that will allow festivalgoers not only to take a break from the excitement and heat outdoors, but also to learn about the many ways Lyngblomsten promotes wellness throughout the year. Activities will include wellness demonstrations (including yoga and seated exercise), a pet visiting station, an essential oils station (including opportunities to create an aromatherapy felt pin and to experience an aroma touch hand massage), a spiritual care booth, and a hydration station.
- Delicious food, beverages, and ice cream provided by Grand Ole Creamery & Pizzeria.
- Games and activities for children, including a bounce house, a puppet making station, a fishing pond, a crayon scavenger hunt, and more.
