A traditional church boat at Leksand, Dalarna.
| All aspects of the folk culture interrelate in Sweden. When you get involved in one, you cannot help but experience many. On the tour, you will participate in several music festivals, and get an idea of the traditions around music and dancing beyond just performing on stage. The tour will visit a "dalahäst" factory, where the special painted toy horses so special to Dalarna are produced, still as a cottage industry. You will see musical instruments, clothing, and folk art styles peculiar to smaller localities. You will learn local customs having to do with baptism, marriage and death. You will learn many local food customs, sampling special foods that are never offered in restaurants. |
