A favorite Swedish holiday tradition is the St. Lucia Festival celebrating the figure that is the emblem of light on a long winter day.

The day begins with live holiday music downtown. Folk dancers, live Scandinavian music and a processional of girls in white carrying candles and stjärngosse (star boys) lead the crowd to the Bethany Lutheran Church where the annual St. Lucia is honored with a crown of candles and fire.

Venue: Downtown Lindsborg & Bethany Lutheran Church, 120 N. Main St.
