Experience the Swedish tradition of Fika right here in Arlington with WalkArlington. Join us for two Fikas—one at 11 a.m. and one at 3 p.m.—that will each be preceded by an invigorating, 30-minute walk. Enjoy a classic doughnut courtesy of Good Company Doughnuts in Ballston. Complimentary hot drinks will be provided.

In Sweden, Fika is a beloved workday ritual. It’s all about slowing down, relaxing with your colleagues, and enjoying some good food, coffee and conversation. Many Swedes take a Fika twice a day: late morning and late afternoon. If you typically rush out for a caffeine fix in-between meetings, then this event is for you.
