Swede Fest 7 update & event details

The entries are in, the venue is locked down and Swede Fest 7 is almost upon us so we wanted to give you an update on some of the stuff that will be happening at the event, which goes down this Saturday, May 14th at Full Circle Brewing Co. in beautiful downtown Fresno starting at 5pm It’s all ages, it’s free so grab your entire family (and your dentist) and roll on down and check out the community film festival that is all the rage.

• First off, thanks to everyone who voted Swede Fest the Best Event (non-annual) in the 2011 Fresno Famous Choice Awards. Here’s your chance to experience the event if you’ve never been!
• Although we’re keeping the number of entries under wraps until the day of the event, wat we can say is that we have surpassed the amount of entries that we’ve had in the past and in those we also have a few international entries. You will be entertained!
• Hope you come hungry because La Elegante #3 will be out there serving up some delicious tacos to compliment your Full Circle brew (or their awesome root beer, whatever you poison be) so be sure to come early to get your food truck on!
• We have a limited amount of hand printed Swede Fest 7 posters (as seen up top of this post) that we will be selling at the festival and they look pretty rad. In addition to those, we will also have a limited amount of hand printed posters of the Swede Fest 6 design, all signed and numbered by designer John Rios himself.
• To top it all off, we will be making a Swede Fest announcement that should be pretty awesome. All I can say about that is that… Will, not sure how much I can really say without Bryan beating me senseless so perhaps I’ve already said too much. Just trust me, it’s kinda cool.

Just as a reminder, here’s the quick little promo video we did a few weeks ago talking about how awesome Swede Fest 7 will be and why you should invite that Roller Derby girl you just befriended.

Yup, it’s on like Voltron so I hope to see you all and please help spread the word. I made the promise to everyone that if we surpass the previous attendance number at this Swede Fest, I will attempt a cartwheel and post video of it on the internet for you all to see my glee. C’mon… lets pack this venue out this weekend. It’s all ages, it’s free… you have no excuses to not be a part of one of the coolest events taking place in the world and it’s right here in Fresno. Hope to see you all this weekend!
