About
See the Official Oregon Lucia Court at the Danish Christmas Celebration presented by Northwest Danish Association.
An Oregon tradition since 1956, the Lucia program puts young women with and interest in Nordic heritage in touch with this beloved legend of Scandinavia, while offering them the opportunity to serve their community and receive Scholarships ranging from $1,800 to $3000. The official Oregon Lucia appears each year at Nordic Northwest's annual Christmas Market, ScanFair, in December and at various Nordic events during the holiday season and throughout the year.
The Scandinavian community in Portland has taken great pride in preserving the Lucia tradition since 1956. In the 1970s, Governor Tom McCall proclaimed the Portland Lucia the official Lucia of Oregon. Formerly a program of the Scandinavian Club of Portland, the Lucia program is now sponsored by Nordic Northwest.
