📖 Excerpt from the Wikipedia article
Svensk Hyllningsfest is a biennial celebration held in Lindsborg, Kansas, in October of odd-numbered years, to celebrate the Swedish heritage of the community. The festival includes Swedish dancing, foods, cooking demonstrations, arts and crafts, entertainment by local artists and musicians, a parade, and a smörgåsbord. Events included at the festival are dancing, cooking demonstrations, arts, crafts, musical entertainment, and folk dancing, provided by town residents. A group of 400 students begin learning dances for this event in the first grade and practices for the festival begin early in the school year. High school students participate as part of the Lindsborg Swedish Folk Dancers, a group of select high school students that agree to participate for four years as ambassadors for the Lindsborg community. Svensk Hyllningsfest is just one of their many performances.
