โš“ A piece of Swedish history is sailing to Alexandria!

The Kalmar Nyckel โ€” a stunning replica of the 17th-century Swedish ship that carried the first settlers of New Sweden to the shores of what is now Delaware and southern New Jersey โ€” is coming to the Alexandria waterfront as part of Sails on the Potomac, June 12โ€“14! ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช

Walk the decks of the ship that helped plant the seeds of Swedish culture in America nearly 400 years ago. Whether you're a history buff, a tall ship enthusiast, or simply curious about Alexandria's ties to Sweden through our sister city of Helsingborg, this is a truly special experience you won't want to miss.

We have one of our own Virginians competing in the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympics - Ilia Malinin from Fairfax. Ilia is the first to land a quadruple axel in competition โ€“ a jump that requires a skater to spin four and a half times in mid-air. ๐Ÿคฏ

The ASCC wishes Ilia the best of luck in the games! ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
