Summer doesn't get any SWEDER THAN THIS!

This five-day festival dates back to 1949. Sponsored by the Geneva Chamber of Commerce, it originally began as an event to promote and build business for Geneva at a time, post-WWII, when the economy was booming and Americans were ready to satisfy their consumer appetites. Today, nearly every member of the Geneva community participates in some way, either as a volunteer or participant in the festivities.

Swedish Days

It's our favorite time of the year!

In 2026 Swedish Days will be held June 24-28. Geneva Swedish Days is 76 years old this year and celebrates the heritage of Swedish immigrants who settled in the area. Craft beer tent, a carnival, a Kids’ Day, nightly entertainment and a parade are part of the festivities. Merchants host special sales and in-store events, as well as sponsoring main festival programs and donating in-kind services. Food stands throughout the downtown area tempt visitors with Swedish and American menus.
