What is Fyr Bal? Fyr Bal (pronounced fear-ball) is Ephraim's annual bonfire festival that takes place downtown along the water. With Scandinavian roots, it marks the official beginning of the summer season.

Fyr Bal is a family-friendly event with fun for everyone including a pet parade, live music, craft vendors, local food, scandinavian dancers, bonfires, fireworks, and so much more! More information for the Fyr Bal Festival can be found on the Ephraim Events page!
