Festivals in Dala-Floda
“Komidsommarfest”, July 2-10 is a very special week with lots of cultural activities, nature-experiences and good music for everybody. This festival has an old tradition. In the old days, during the first months of the summer including Midsummer, all the young women were at the Fabod taking care of the cows. As they came back to the village a “Cow-Midsummer festival” were celebrated, about two weeks after Midsummer. We still celebrate this festival in Dala-Floda but nowhere else in Sweden.
“Hagenfesten”, Aug. 3-7. “is a unique festival of improvised, experimental and folk music, poetry, art, photo, dance, performance and homemade food. The organism of Hagenfesten comes alive through creative meetings. You as an audience or participator will hear, see, feel, smell and taste the vibrating pipe of original minds, flowing along with the river of Vasterdalalven”. Hagenfesten
