With visitors coming from around the world in numbers that more than triple the town’s population, the biennial Svensk Hyllningsfest is back this month in Lindsborg, Kansas’ own “Little Sweden.” Meaning “Swedish Honoring Festival,” Hyllningsfest, founded in 1941, takes place every odd-numbered year and celebrates the Swedish immigrants and pioneers who settled in the Smoky Valley during the late 1860s. Festivalgoers will join with the community to “become Swedish” with art, crafts, music, food and entertainment happening throughout the day on Oct. 13 and 14.
