MILWAUKEE, WI — Dads can celebrate like a Viking and at the same time let tension melt away, at the Traveling Sauna that will be set up at Milwaukee's Juneau Park.

The Finnish-American Society of Milwaukee is bringing the Traveling Sauna to Juneau Park, on Father’s Day (and June 19), from 10 a.m.–6 p.m. The sauna is touring the U.S. in celebration of 2017 as the year of the 100th anniversary of Finnish independence.

Families can reserve sauna seats or enter on a first-come, first-served basis, for a donation of $10 per person. Also at the mini cultural event will be Nordic beer from Valhalla, and Finnish stories, music, desserts, and merchandise.
