We are Fridtjof Nansen Lodge #6‑009 of the International Sons of Norway.

For over eighty years, Fridtjof Nansen Lodge has served as the center of cultural activity in Long Beach for Norwegians, those of Norwegian descent, and even those just interested in Norwegian culture and heritage.

Based in Long Beach, the Fridtjof Nansen Lodge offers cultural meetings and social events to promote Norwegian heritage. We sponsor a Syttende Mai celebration each year in May to honor the May 17th Constitution Day of Norway.

We welcome everyone of all ages. You do not have to be Norwegian!

We look forward to meeting you.
