From grand festivals to quiet projects, events are an important part of life at The Danish Home. Residents visit popular places and exhibits around Chicagoland transported in the community’s lovely van. At home, they welcome groups of guests, large and small, to enjoy their home and grounds for various occasions.

12:00PM-5:00PM
Join us at The Danish Home for our annual Summer celebration complete with every delight of the season – live music, great food, games, and much more, including the warm camaraderie of friends and neighbors.
Enjoy live, toe-tapping entertainment from the Westerlees Swing Band, bringing their down-home, old-timey sound to the stage from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. Whether you’re dancing along or just soaking in the tunes, their vibe is sure to strike a festive tone.
Curious about what’s new? Tours of The Danish Home’s beautiful new construction will be available from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Take this wonderful opportunity to explore our boutique senior community’s exciting updates and additions. Imagine yourself or a loved one living here!
Admission to Summerfest is free, but voluntary donations of cash or checks in support of our non-profit organization are greatly appreciated.
“When they have their festivals… it is really wonderful to see all the Danish traditions… residents get to be part of things – it makes them come alive.”
– Julie Ericksen, family member
