Are you in the Southern California area?  If so, this Sunday, you get to experience a Swedish Christmas.

And you don’t even have to stand in the line at the airport.

Swedish Women’s Educational Association, or SWEA, Los Angeles, host their thirty-sixth annual Swedish Christmas Fair this Sunday, December 13th, in a new location: Torrance Cultural Art Center!  They’ll have traditional Swedish folk dances, handcrafted gifts, a kids’ corner and incredible baked goods.

But the centerpiece of the afternoon will be the breathtaking “Lucia pageant”.

Sanna Wilkinson is one of the three co-chairs of this year’s SWEA Los Angeles Swedish Christmas Fair.  She talked about the Swedish traditions the Christmas Fair celebrates, and offered both a look into the Christmas Fair’s background and a preview of this special event.

SWEA Los Angeles’  36th Annual Christmas Fair happens Sunday, December 13th, from 10 am to 5 pm in the Ken Miller Auditorium of Torrance Cultural Arts Center, 3350 Civic Center Drive, at Madrona, in Torrance. Parking is free; donation $10 for adults, with  children  under 12 admitted free.  The Lucia Pageant takes place at noon, and at 3:00 pm.
