Lutefisk Dinner
Sunday, November 9, 2025
12:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Seatings at noon, 2 pm, and 4 pm
Take a Risk — try Lutefisk. Aside from our cooked-to-perfection lutefisk, dinner includes meatballs and gravy, potatoes, coleslaw, cranberry relish, and — of course — lefse. Our Scandinavian Sale and Bucket Ruffle will be in the Ballroom and our Landhandel gift shop will be open and stocked with wonderful Scandinavian items. Proceeds from the sale of those items benefit our Grieg Lodge Scholarship Fund. Come a bit earlier than your seating time and enjoy shopping as well as some social time in the Oslo Lounge.
Reservations open up September 1 so please check back later. This very popular event sells out every year, so you’ll need to make your reservation early. There will be three seatings — noon, 2pm, and 4pm.

Torskeklubben Christmas Dinner
Saturday, December 6, 2025
5:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Each December, the Torskeklubben Christmas Dinner transforms Norse Hall into a true Norwegian julebord that brings together almost 200 Norwegians, Norwegian-Americans, and friends each year. Founded in 1991 by first-generation Norwegians, this volunteer-led tradition is a true labor of love—a celebration of community, food, and heritage passed down through generations. Hosted annually in December, the event features classic dishes such as ribbe and riskrem, dancing around the Christmas tree to beloved Norwegian carols, and even a visit from Santa. Designed for the whole family, the evening honors the joy and togetherness that have defined this multi-generational celebration for more than three decades.
Given space limitations, the Torskeklubben Christmas Dinner is an invite-only event. Invitations are extended to past participants and friends of the community each year, with formal invitations sent out in early November.
