About Finnish-American Club of Tucson

Our club was founded in 1966 and has changed with the times to a club that invites the community to experience Finnish and Finnish-American culture through social gatherings, talks, music, film and food. We collaborate with other Nordic and Scandinavian cultural groups in Arizona and elsewhere.

Our club and Tucson were proud hosts to FinnFest USA in 2012. FinnFest USA is a festival with strong academic, cultural, and commerce components presenting Finnish and Finnish American culture and heritage. It’s a festival that brings modern Finland together with historic and contemporary America. FinnFest USA is an ethnic festival like no other in the USA.

Finland and Arizona met November 8th – 11th, 2012 and engaged in a vibrant, educational, and festive celebration where visitors shared information and learned about contemporary Finland and Finnish-American culture during stimulating, fun-filled days packed with activities and events for all guests.

The local and regional community became a central part of the festival by contributing local performers, vendors and participants who engaged with Finnish and Finnish-American presenters, artists and guests.
