Learning about new words and activities

I was reading some local and free newspaper and I found this:
https://fikasfest.com/en/about/ In English
https://fikasfest.com/a-propos/  In French
There is some variations for the workshops but it it the section I liked the most.  I have pretty much missed it this year.  I would be interested in the knitting and embroidery.  I wonder what is so particuliar in the Scandinavian embroidery.  I am curious about this difference.  What I find very fashionably in this festival is the Scandinavian Cocktail Classes.  Cocktail is very popular but having it in a festival, it is quite a good idea, especially if we can make them ourselves.  I would be ready to try that.

They also have a music part, some conversations and a visual art & design activities.  The photo taken to represent Swedish dads is kind of cute, even if the dad on it look coming out from the 70ties.  I do not know if some popular music group (I think of NIghtwish) could come during the fikasfest.  I don't evdn know if there is a compatibility between the two.  I think that there is many groups that comes from the Scandinavian countries.

Fica mean break time.  I liked learning that.  It is also a good idea to take that word for the name of the festival.  It is an original way to name a festival, I think.  It sound so cool!  I don't know if I will have time to go to the activities that interest me.  Well, if I can't this year, I will try for next year.  People that are doing this festival must have good connections.  I don't know if I could do the same.  Well, fun to learn something new.
