Sveaborg 449 lodge - Vasa Order of America

Sveaborg Lodge # 449 is a fellowship that shares a common interest in Nordic culture and heritage. Sveaborg was established and organized by Gustaf F. Lindström, June 30, 1924 in Concord CA. Members of Sveaborg Lodge celebrate many Nordic customs and occasions, often with music, Nordic cuisine, and costume. Members of Sveaborg Lodge typically come together in the evening on the third Friday of every month for a social program and meeting. Our meetings are dress casual, are performed in English, are conducted with minimal ritual and formality, and are for all ages. Most of our meetings are open for guests.

At our meeting you can meet members with different interests in the Nordic culture such as, cooking, crafts, dancing, film, genealogy, literature, music and travel. You can also meet with people who talk the your ancestors language.

Membership is open to men and women over 14 years of age of Nordic roots, (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish or Icelandic,) and their spouses who would like to rediscover the traditions of their forefathers; and those who are not of Nordic ancestry but are committed to the promotion and advancement of Swedish and Nordic heritage and culture.

If you do not wish to apply for membership at this time, but are interested in Nordic culture or heritage, you are most welcome at our open events.
