Svensk Hyllningsfest (Swedish: [ˈsvɛnsk ²hʏlːnɪŋsˌfɛst], Swedish Honoring Festival)[1] is a biennial celebration held in Lindsborg, Kansas, in October of odd-numbered years since 1941 to celebrate the town's Swedish heritage. The festival includes Swedish dancing, foods including lutfisk, cooking demonstrations, arts and crafts, entertainment by local artists and musicians, a parade, and a smörgåsbord.

The next Svensk Hyllningsfest will occur October 13 & 14, 2017. Lindsborg is located just twenty miles south of Interstate 70 at Salina, or seventy miles north of Wichita on Interstate 135.
