Balboa Park House of Norway

Balboa Park House of Norway The House of Norway's mission is to share its members' Norwegian heritage and the colorful history & rich culture, customs & traditions with each other.

Want read our monthly Newsletter? Contact: [email protected] The House of Norway has been celebrating Norwegian tradition since it's inception after the world's fair/Panama exposition in San Diego. Our membership is just under 150 people and half of the members are active, meaning they participate in hosting at the cottage as well as are a part of all the events that we have. Here are some:
Quarterly Movie Nights, May Lawn Program, 17 Mai celebration, Nordic Nights, Christmas on the Prado and December Nights. We also are good neighbors of the Sons of Norway, Valhall Lodge (lots of Salmon dinners and heritage events) and Sons of Norway Norge Lodge (Viking Festival and Odin Dinner). We welcome anyone who has interest in Norwegian Culture and/or has Norwegian ancestry. Join us for the fun:)

It’s with great sadness that I inform you that His Majesty King Harald V is dead.

He was a strong unifying force for all Norwegians across the globe. One who everyone called their Bestefar.

He was with us in glede og sorg (happiness and sorrow), through July 22 and other natural catastrophes.

He was a excellent athlete, three times in the Olympics and five times in the World Cup, as a sailor.
He was what Norwegians called a Sportsidiot.
He was also an avid fisherman and hunter.
Boy, did he enjoy the World Cup in soccer this summer!

His motto was Alt for Norge.

We thank him with all of our hearts.🙏🏻
Vi lyser fred over hans minne.

Long live His Majesty King Haakon VIII.

NOTE
The House of Norway will be open from 11AM - 4PM tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday for those who want to show their respect and wish to be with others.

One of our fantastic members, James Jerpseth, recommended an Ethiopian Restaurant named Read Sea on University Ave., so Anne-Lise (native Norwegian) and I went there for a delicious lunch (which it was)! The thing that I thought was extraordinary was that the owner, Shimi (native Ethiopian) and Anne-Lise had a full on conversation in Spanish! Remarkable San Diego!
