Here’s to the power of Lindsborg businesses and people to bring the fun.

🎄✨ Downtown Lindsborg is officially starting to look like Christmas! The lights on the trees are up and shining bright, all thanks to some amazing volunteers. Huge shoutout to the incredible Stuga staff (Maria Mistereck, Colten Walker and Kaline Smith) for donating their time, and a special THANK YOU to Corey Peterson, Holly Lofton and Spencer Greene for leading the charge and making sure the lights were up just in time for this weekend’s Holiday Open House! 🌟

Because of these folks, our downtown will be glowing with holiday cheer once again. If you see Corey, Spencer, Holly, or any of the Stuga team around, be sure to thank them and maybe even buy them a drink! Cheers to making this holiday season extra bright! 🥂🎅🏼

TIAK, the Travel Industry Association of Kansas, honored Lindsborg in an extraordinary way last night. Visit Lindsborg's Holly Lofton, pictured here, scooped up an amazing four of the six acknowledgments available to mid-size communities -- plus best overall promotion of the year. Here's to Holly and Diane Reece for their hard work, creativity, and love for our town.

Take a tip from the Big Red Dala Horse: There's more to rural than you may understand. Many good community examples statewide, including our own Lindsborg.

"While...more prominent cities like Wichita and Kansas City often steal the spotlight, the state's authentic charm lies in its small towns. Each offers a unique slice of Kansas life, full of history, culture, and natural beauty. Here are eight of Kansas's most beautiful small towns, whether you are looking for a weekend getaway or planning to stay longer." https://ow.ly/kMl450TjqGb

Authentic, historic, cultural, and beautiful--yes! That's Lindsborg! Maybe you too will "want to stay longer or, perhaps, never leave at all."

Thanks, Worldatlas.com for including Lindsborg as one of eight!

Lindsborg’s summer theater under the stars is shining bright. Bring your lawn chairs and grab tickets at the gate.

Catch the longest-running outdoor theatre in Kansas by attending this weekend's production of 𝘊𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴 at Broadway RFD--only in Lindsborg! Opening show is Friday, July 19, with three other performances to choose from: July 20, July 26, & July 27. Shows begin at 8:30pm.

It’s the brassy, bright, and promising year of 1959. Boston’s Colonial Theatre is host to the opening night performance of a new musical. When the leading lady mysteriously dies on stage, the entire cast & crew are suspects. Enter a local detective, who just happens to be a musical theatre fan! Packed with glorious tunes and a witty, charming script filled with delightful characters, 𝘊𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴 is a hilarious journey for both performers and the audience.

Started in 1959, Broadway RFD is the longest running outdoor theatre in the state of Kansas. People come far and wide, with their lawn chairs in tow, to sit in the summer breeze and be immersed in song and dance.

Tickets available to purchase online at https://www.broadwayrfd.org/ or the night of the perfomance at the gate. Participating in the Sunflower Summer Program? Check the app to see how you and your child can access free tickets to the performance! Those details also found at https://sunflowersummer.org/

So much shade. So much color. And yes, so many menu choices. See you Saturday, June 15.

You're not going to believe this menu! So many different kinds of options, could it really get any better? Local ice cream from Indigo Moo'd Ice Cream, acai berry bowls, Frito pies, smash burgers, the American Legion Post 140 Lindsborg, KS's Ragnar Rollup, curly fries, and even a late addition from the Marquette KS Lions Club who will bring funnel cakes to round it out. Plus, so much more!

Come to the Lindsborg Midsummer's Festival and come hungry! There is something for everyone to enjoy. Saturday, June 15th, starting at 10 AM. Our food trucks will be serving through 6:45, as supplies last.

Lindsborg on two self-propelled wheels is a sight to see for all ages.

Is summer cycling your gig? All roads lead to Lindsborg where you will find the Välkommen Trail’s 4.5 miles of paved bike trails meandering through town, more than 5 miles of gravel trails at Coronado Heights, and the Meadowlark Trail’s 12.6 miles that will complete the connection from Lindsborg to McPherson this summer!

Not wanting to bring a bike? Rent one while you are here. Lindsborg’s bike share program makes cycling easy with 15 bikes to rent, stationed at City Hall, Bethany College, and Fredrickson Fitness Park. Have littles that are too small to pedal? Stop at the Hemslojd, Inc and rent a quadricycle to take the kiddos along in basket-style seating.

When you are done, cool off and fuel up at one of your favorite Lindsborg pit stops!

The visual and performing arts are strong facets of a USD400 education. So happy to see student works on display in downtown Lindsborg.

The importance of the arts in Lindsborg isn't found only in the grown-ups. From early ages, art of all kinds is encouraged in Lindsborg. Here is just one, very wonderful, example of encouragement. The hallway inside The Courtyard is populated by elementary students' fantastic artwork--framed and labeled.

So the next time you are in the mood for some Indigo Moo'd Ice Cream, take a glance at the artwork exhibited. Enjoy all forms of art from all ages in Lindsborg!
