HYGGE FESTIVAL FEBRUARY 3 - 14
The Danish concept of “hygge” (pronounced hoo-gah) has been around for a long time. It refers to the ritual of embracing life’s simple pleasures. Feeling relaxed, cozy and surrounded by the warmth of family, friends, community and fire all encompass the idea of hygge. Enjoy a fireplace tour, sauna experiences, mulled wine, outdoor activities, local artist and vendor markets, cozy accommodations and so much more. See the schedule to see how local businesses are embracing the hygge season at VisitCookCounty.com
