Svensk Hyllningsfest October 17-18, 2025

Applications are now being accepted for Arts and Crafts Vendor and Food Court Vendor for the 2025 Svensk Hyllningsfest.  Please use the links below to submit your application.

Arts & Crafts vendors will once again be outside, in traditional festival fashion! Come and enjoy a great variety of items brought to you by over 30 artisans and craftspeople. This year we are working in conjunction with the Red Barn Studio to invite folks from all over the Midwest, as well as the local talent, to join us under the tent and show off their wares. Look for us in the lot just north of the Red Barn, where the Brunswick Hotel previously stood. 

We are proud to announce that this year we will be having juried awards of 250, 150, 100 and a 250 People’s Choice Award chosen by the attendees  thanks to our sponsors: the Raymer Society, Birger Sandzen Memorial Gallery, Lindsborg Arts Council, and the Smoky Valley Arts & Folklife Center, Clara Hatton Center.
