Experience the warmth and joy of Danish hospitality in the Danish villages of Elk Horn and Kimballton during Julefest, Nov. 24-25. Julefest is a traditional celebration that welcomes the arrival of the Christmas season.

Throughout the western Iowa towns, find Danish holiday treats and browse local shops for crafts, jewelry and antiques. Cultural landmarks and museums such as the Danish Windmill, Museum of Danish America and Bedstemor’s Hus will also all be decorated for the holidays and open for tours. Plus, there’s a 5K run and a Christmas concert.
