Kingsburg Santa Lucia Festival Christmas Village Celebration

December 6th, 2008

Place: Swedish Village

Attractions: Parade, Food, Gingerbread House Competition, Caroling, Arts and Crafts

The Festival of Lights Parade will begin at 5:30 P.M. on Draper St. Sip warm cider and devour Swedish ginger cookies as you enjoy the parade with friends and family.

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. Source Kingsburg Chamber of Commerce
