A national Swedish holiday celebrated with Swedish food, music, dancing, art, games and the raising of the Midsommarstång (Midsummer Pole).

This festival, held to celebrate the beginning of summer, is one of the most popular of all Swedish celebrations. There will be live entertainment throughout the day for all ages, including Children's World, blomkrans (crown of flowers), kubb, vendors and more. The Lindsborg Swedish Folk Dancers and the Folksdanslag will perform Scandinavian dances in Swedish costumes. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to join in the dancing, especially around the Maypole in Heritage Square! Food vendors will provide yummy treats. New this year is a Street Dance from 8:30 pm-11:30 pm!

Admission is free to the festival!

Other Midsummer activities include The Midsummer's 5K/2 Mile Walk, the 5th annual kubb tournament, a night swim and an evening concert.
