A SWEDISH TRADITION INTHE HEARTLAND
LINDSBORG, KS
Celebrating and Honoring a Tradition
It's time to get excited for this year’s Midsummer’s Festival! Midsummer’s Festival is a special event and a special time with our community. That sense of community is something that many of us have seen in Sweden’s Midsummer Festivals as well. With that in mind, we (the committee) decided to try to bring in that feeling to our local Midsummer's Festival.
We highlight some of the favorite traditions including the evening performances around the Midsummer pole, performances from the Lindsborg Swedish Folk Dancers (LSFD), Folkdanslag and the Scandinavian Folk Dancers of Kansas City, bloomkrons, barrel train and the LSFD Dala Van and other food and craft vendors.
For our daytime activities we are celebrating downtown and asking our local businesses to celebrate with us. There will also be pop-up performances from the above-mentioned dance groups throughout the day. We encourage the restaurants downtown to get involved as well, plus we will have a few food vendors.
Starting at 4pm we will have entertainment at Heritage Square, as the Kubb Championship rounds play out to get us ready for the raising of the Midsummer Pole and the traditional dancing and family games.
The festival has seen many different variations over the many years, but community has always been the underlying strength. We are confident that this year's festival will continue to build upon that strength.
We hope you can join us on June 20, 2026, to celebrate. And if you feel so inclined to help in this year’s festival or one in the future, please join our committee to help the tradition continue. You can reach out to us using the e-mail link below.
