Valborg | April 30 | 5-8PM

Chicago Waldorf School | 5200 N Ashland

---

Valborg is a Swedish tradition that marks the arrival of spring and is often seen as an opportunity to bid farewell to the winter months. One of the central elements of Valborg celebrations in Sweden is the lighting of large bonfires. These bonfires are typically lit in public spaces, such as parks or community squares, and people gather around them to socialize, sing songs, and enjoy the warmth of the fire. In addition to bonfires, other common activities during Valborg include singing traditional songs, particularly ones associated with spring and nature.

We invite the community to come gather around the fire for our third Valborg in Andersonville! In addition to the festivities and in celebration of Earth Month, we will have eco-friendly and sustainability resources available.

AND help us find Anders throughout the month of April!
