The National Nordic Museum hosts Seattle's Kubb Tournament in honor of the Midsommar holiday. Kubb is a traditional Scandinavian lawn game (sometimes called 'Viking chess') that has grown in popularity. The tournament invites participants to play on the museum grounds in Ballard. The event is part of the museum's broader Midsommar programming, which celebrates the summer solstice the traditional Nordic way.
