Fika is the Swedish tradition of sharing coffee, cookies and conversation. As part of the Bishop Hill Chautauqua on Saturday August 24, 2024, we will be having Fika by the village park gazebo at 4 p.m. with the Chautauqua performers. At that time you, can ask additional questions, collect autographs, and chat with the participants to share ideas and insights gleaned from the performances. Coffee and cookies are free.

The 2024 Bishop Hill Chautauqua is sponsored by the Bishop Hill Heritage Association, Community State Bank, Galesburg Community Foundation, Geneseo Foundation, Illinois Arts Council, Bill and Susan Sherrard Foundation, the Twinflower Inn Bed and Breakfast and generous donations from the community. Regional Media is our major media sponsor. The audience is encouraged to bring a lawn chair. For more information about the Chautauqua, email bhha@mymctc.net or call 309-927-3899.
