Join us for Andersonville’s second Valborg celebration on Wednesday, April 30 from 5-8PM at Chicago Waldorf School!

Valborg is a cherished Swedish tradition that welcomes spring and bids farewell to the long winter. At its heart, a comforting bonfire, where communities gather to burn away the worries of the past and start spring anew.

In honor of Earth Month, we’ll feature eco-friendly organizations. Enjoy Saving Spring, a puppet show by Gamelan Naga Biru (6-7PM), followed by traditional songs from the Chicago Swedish Mixed Chorus (7PM). The evening concludes with a fire poetry performance by the Typeritualist Coelti (7:20PM).

Thank you to our Valborg sponsors, the Andersonville Sustainability Community Alliance and The Floriography Fellows.
