Come and enjoy a fun filled day with us as we celebrate the Swedish tradition of Midsummer (Midsommar). You will enjoy great foods like open-face and meatball sandwiches, hotdogs, strawberries and ice cream, coffee cake, Swedish pankakes and more. Numerous vendors will be displaying their talents and selling their wares. Our Swedish Historical park across the street from the museum will have continuous activities for children of all ages, including the game of Kubb throughout the day.

Sit in the shade and listen to our numerous entertainers. Raising the maypole (majstång) will be a joyous event at noon with dancing and singing. Everyone is welcome to participate in this fun activity. Enjoy our Erlander garden for a quiet place to eat and enjoy soft music.

If you're interested in becoming a vendor, please contact Karen Hammarberg at 815-966-1218 or bkhammar@comcast.net for a vendor application.
