"Danish-American" refers to individuals in the United States who have Danish ancestry or heritage. This group includes people who were born in Denmark and later immigrated to the U.S., as well as those whose ancestors came from Denmark. The Danish-American community has contributed to various aspects of American culture, including cuisine, art, and traditions. Many Danish-Americans celebrate their heritage through festivals and events, such as Sankthansaften (Midsummer's Eve) and Danish-American Day.
