Thorsby, Alabama will be hosting its 21st annual Swedish Fest on Saturday, October 18th. The downtown parade is scheduled for 9AM followed by opening ceremonies at 10AM in Richland Wood Park. Event Coordinator, Tracia Bussey, and her team are planning a full day of activities. The founding fathers of Thorsby were from several Scandinavian countries in addition to Sweden. As recently as the 1930’s, many townspeople still spoke their native languages. At one time, this area of Alabama was known as “the Scandinavian colony of the South.”
Although history is a significant part of Thorsby’s Swedish Fest, there are additional ample opportunities to enjoy the day. There is considerable food, musical entertainment, arts and crafts, exotic animals, and more. Thorsby is located approximately 93 miles southeast of Tuscaloosa and 40 miles north of Montgomery, in Chilton County, Alabama. For more information contact The Chilton County Chamber of Commerce at 1-800-533-0493 or via email at chiltonchamber@bellsouth.net.
