2017 SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

NORDIC BITES

WHO?

The Scandinavian Cultural Center is committed to positioning itself as the premiere hub for

traditional and contemporary Nordic cultural activities in New England by sharing important

elements of Scandinavian culture with the wider community.

The goal of the Scandinavian Cultural Center is to be a location for and source of enriching

and thought-provoking events for residents of Newton, greater Boston, and beyond. These

goals are achieved through collaborations with other organizations, and through the

Cultural Center’s own programs.

The Scandinavian Charitable Society is a Massachusetts 501(c)(3) status organization which

puts on the NORDIC BITES Food Festival.

WHAT?

The NORDIC BITES Food Festival is New England’s only event of its kind. Highlights include

tasting stations from Denmark, Iceland, Sweden, Finland and Norway, Nordic vendors, live-

music, guest speakers, kids’ stations, family-friendly games, a live Viking encampment, and

more “foodie” fun!

WHY?

Using food as a universal and inviting cultural gateway, the SCC’s vision is to continue rais-

ing the visibility of our unique and vibrant cultural center and our event partners within the

Greater Boston community.
