Geneva Swedish Days celebrates the heritage of Swedish immigrants who settled in the area.
In 2025, Swedish Days will be held June 18-22. Geneva Swedish Days is 75 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. Food stands throughout the downtown area tempt visitors with Swedish and American menus.
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 a participant in the festivities.
