St. Mark’s celebrates its Swedish roots with this special gift to the community each December. The festival was first hosted in 1976. Families, friends, and neighbors are invited to enjoy our beautiful candlelit sanctuary, Lucia with her crown of lighted candles, our own Swedish singers and dancers, and Swedish treats. The festival makes a beautiful start to the Christmas season. This year's St. Lucia Festival will be held December 8, 9 and 10.
