USA Special Event Description:
Grundlovsfest -
Velkommen (Welcome) to Dannebrog, the Danish Capital of Nebraska. Each June, our little village (named from the Danish Flag), hosts a weekend celebration honoring its heritage, during which the citizens of Dannebrog commemorate the anniversary of the signing of Denmarks Free Constitution in 1849 by King Frederik VII. The word, Grundlov is from a Danish term meaning foundation.
The first Grundlovsfest was held in 1988. The celebration has grown to include numerous activities each year. Activities in the past have included: Aebleskiver (Danish Pancakes), adult games, artists, bingo, a cake/bake walk, class reunions, cloggers, cow bingo, horse and buggy rides, a jam session, kids games, money dig and tractor pulls, a Melodrama, a Muzzleloaders Rendezvous, a parade (with floats, farm equipment, vintage cars, local/regional celebrities and bands), a quilt show and last but not least, a street dance and beer garden.
During this fun-filled weekend, visitors can stroll down our beautiful main street to sample delicious, world-famous Danish foods, shop in our businesses or stop over at the arts/craft show. You can also catch a performance by various musical groups throughout the day.
Dannebrog residents encourage visitors from around the state, country and world to attend the Grundlovsfest each year. The villages quaint population of 354 swells to well over 1,000 during this special celebration the first weekend in June.
