Todd DeDecker joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the 53rd annual Jordbruksdagarna harvest festival, which arrives in Bishop Hill on September 27th and 28th, promising a weekend brimming with heritage and community spirit. The village will transform into a lively hub, featuring traditional craft demonstrations, a range of food vendors, live music, and engaging activities tailored for children. Visitors can also explore historic exhibits scattered throughout Bishop Hill. Every demonstration and display comes at no cost, ensuring the festival remains accessible for all. Organizers invite families, history enthusiasts, and curious newcomers to experience a celebration deeply rooted in agricultural tradition and local culture.

Jordbruksdagarna, Bishop Hill’s annual harvest celebration, returns this year with a rich lineup of activities for all ages. Organized by the Bishop Hill Heritage Association, this family-friendly event highlights Swedish traditions, historic demonstrations, and local crafts. Support comes from community organizations such as the Bishop Hill Agricultural Association, VASA National Archives, and sponsors including the Illinois Arts Council and Nature’s Creations. The event’s success relies on dedicated volunteers, with special help from the Cambridge and Galva FFA chapters and the Galva Boy Scouts. Major media support is proudly provided by Regional Media.
