Lindsborg, A Winter Village In Kansas That Will Enchant You Beyond Words

Lindsborg, Kansas, also known as "little Sweden" for the town's Swedish heritage, transforms into a stunning winter village every year. Have you seen the beauty in person yet? It's something we think everyone should watch happen at least once. Come check it out!

Welcome, or should I say Valkommen , to Lindsborg, Kansas. A beautiful town full of Swedish heritage through the year, but during the winter, something special.

Though most small towns in Kansas do decorate their main streets for the holidays, you'll find that this one takes it a bit farther.

The town works hard to bring everything together before the festivities, and there's plenty of work to go around. Every year in the winter, Lindsborg transforms into a stunning winter village.

A big part of the season is the St. Lucia Festival, held the second Saturday each December. It's held to honor Lucia, who steered a ship full of light and food to save the people of Sweden from starvation.

The festivities start with a pancake feed, but include folk dancing, bake sales, and more. They have plenty to do, and plenty to show!

Lucia Day (the crowning of a girl chosen from town to be the honorary Lucia), Julotta (a morning pre-Christmas church service) and an old fashioned Christmas celebration. There's a lot going on, and the whole month is packed with excitement.

Whether you're most excited about the town decor, the Valkommen trail lights on the bridge, or the folk dancing, we hope you enjoy winter festivities here.
