And just like that, another Swede Fest is behind us. You helped us pack The Tower Theatre with almost 400 people to watch 28 awesome sweded films. If you couldn’t make it or just want to relive the magic, you can check out all the entries right here.

We’d like to thank everyone who submitted because without you, this festival would simply not exist!

We’d also like to thank our sponsors that make Swede Fest possible. FresYes.com / FresYes Realty, CMAC, Fresno Filmworks, The Tower Theatre, Haro Entertainment: thank you so much.

Our volunteers: without you, the event would not run so smoothly so thanks to Matt, Juan, Kyle, Bee, Thong, Natalie and Valerie. If you are interested in volunteering and helping Swede Fest become cooler, please drop us an email at info@swedefest.com and we’ll get in touch.

Thanks again and be sure to start thinking about YOUR entry for Swede Fest 19, coming in winter 2019.…

Swede Fest 18 is coming up on Sunday, December 2 and will be returning to The Tower Theatre. Doors open at 5pm, films start at 5:30pm.

You know what that means? It’s time to start turning your gears to generate some swede-tastically awesome ideas! Grab your friends and family, browse your Bluray or Netflix library, start collecting cardboard boxes from your nearest dumpster, because before you know it Swede Fest 18 will be upon us!

The deadline for entries is Monday, November 26 at 11:59pm, but there’s no time like the present to start your creative process. Don’t be shy about turning in your entry early! Time limit is still 4 minutes and your entry must be suitable for all ages. It’s free to submit and everyone of all ages is encouraged to swede their favorite films. Although it’s not required, we like to hear from people who are planning to submit so we can start planning out the program.
