Svensk Hyllningsfest

Svensk Hyllningsfest (Swedish: [ˈsvɛnːsk ˈhʏ̂lːnɪŋsˌfɛst], "Swedish Honoring Festival") is a biennial celebration held in Lindsborg, Kansas, in October of odd-numbered years since 1941 to celebrate the town's Swedish heritage.[1][2] The festival includes Swedish dancing, foods including lutfisk, cooking demonstrations, arts and crafts, entertainment by local artists and musicians, a parade, and a smörgåsbord.[3]

The next Svensk Hyllningsfest is tentatively scheduled for October 8th and 9th, 2021. Lindsborg is located just twenty miles south of Interstate 70 on Interstate 135, or seventy miles north of Wichita on Interstate 135. No Hyllingsfest was held in 1943.[4]
