The Danish Day

Skandinaven, June 8, 1920

The Danes celebrated their National Day at Riverview Park last Sunday. It is estimated that the attendance exceeded one hundred thousand, including many out-of-town visitors.

The festival began with the usual automobile parade from Dania Hall; several hundred automobiles were used. The celebration also commemorated the return of Schleswig to Denmark. Dr. Knud Hartnack spoke for Sonder Jylland (South Jutland, Schleswig), and Reverend Oswald Helsing spoke for Denmark.
