ACHF Cultural Heritage
We promote and perpetuate Scandinavian culture through a variety of artistic experiences and energize all generations to explore their heritage. Each year we strive to create a better festival, we do this by surveying our visitors about their needs, expectations and overall enjoyment. We also ask our artists to evaluate their experiences to get a more holistic evaluation of our festival. 2: We continually support regional artists that represent the high-quality precision and dedication to their craft. The 2014 festival will continue to present the high quality performances because of highly involved community that has endless suggestions for artists and entertainment. They are truly an amazing support.
