Geneva Swedish Days Festival offers mobile app for convenience

Submitted by Geneva Chamber of Commerce

Visitors of the Swedish Days Festival presented by Cadence Health will be able to use their smartphones to know who is playing on Central Stage, where you can find Swedish meatballs and what time the carnival closes.

The Geneva Chamber of Commerce and CGTek Inc. will again offer the MyFest-Geneva Swedish Days Mobile App. It’s currently available for use on Android mobile devices and on Apple for iPhone and iPad.

MyFest-Geneva Swedish Days will allow users to review the full lineup of festival events, peruse the menu items of food vendors and check the current weather in Geneva. It also will provide links to the Geneva Chamber of Commerce mobile site, the Swedish Days information page and the Festival Deals page, which is the same page that is accessed by scanning the festival QR Code found in shop and restaurant windows throughout Geneva. Connecting to Google Maps in standard or satellite view will enable the user to center on either the festival or their current location.

Anticipated enhancements for future versions of the app will include a searchable events schedule and food vendor menu, an ability to add event reminders to mobile device calendars and advanced mapping capabilities showing precise locations for festival events, food vendors and various displays. CGTek Inc. has donated this app to the chamber. For technical support, visit the website at gtekinc.com.

The festival runs Tuesday, June 18, through Sunday, June 23. For more information, call the Geneva Chamber at (630) 232-6060, or visit genevachamber.com.
