SKOL (pronounced “skohl”) is an old Scandinavian word that means “cheers”. For Minnesotans, it’s also the rallying cry of the Vikings, shouted loud and proud to bring people together.
At Winter SKOLstice, SKOL is our way of saying: “Let’s celebrate, let’s stand together, and let’s make the longest nights the brightest.”
Whether you’re planning a day of family fun, a night out with friends, or a unique date, Winter SKOLstice offers something for everyone.
