Kingsburg could have been like any other place, and in many ways it is. However, the city adopted a Swedish village them some years ago and it really set the pace for events held in the city. From the annual Swedish Festival with a parade and dancing, to the 4th of July, Summer concert series and Julgransfest Christmas Tree Lighting, life doesn't get any more wholesome, entertaining, and festive than fun-loving Kingsburg.

The mercury is rising, the days are getting longer, and the fruit trees are almost ready to be harvested. This can only be the prelude to "Summer Band Concerts Under the Stars." The City Band has emerged to become the longest running non-professional community band west of the Mississippi. This concert series is held for a six-week period every Thursday night in Kingsburg's Memorial Park. Each night starts with a Farmer's Market, Food and Crafts from 5-8 p.m., followed by the concert from 8-9:30 PM. Here's an opportunity for you to slip back in time to an old-fashioned outdoor Concert and Farmers' Market.

Julgransfest Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony

Place: Swedish Village

Just in time for the holiday season, Kingsburg opens its Christmas Village (Swedish style) downtown with lovely lights and festive trappings for the trek down Draper Street singing carols and lighting the community Christmas tree. It's something right out of Dr. Seuss and his "Whoville" holiday classic. You won't want to miss this Christmas season kick-off. It starts at dusk on the Friday after Thanksgiving Day.

Santa Lucia Festival Christmas Village Celebration

Place: Swedish Village
Attractions: Parade, Food, Gingerbread House Competition

Festival of Lights Parade 5:30 p.m. on Draper Street

Santa Lucia Day opens the Christmas season with the oldest daughter of the household adorning herself in a long white gown, red sash and a glowing crown of candles. She wakens the family members with the Lucia song and serving saffron buns and coffee at their bedside. The Swedish Village of Kingsburg has adopted this very special tradition. Kingsburg celebrates Santa Lucia Day on the first Saturday in December. The sidewalks of Draper Street will be filled with arts and crafts along with specialty home baked goods, gourmet items, and Swedish entrees. There is a Gingerbread House Competition at the library and the evening concludes with a Festival of Lights Parade.
