Thank you to everyone that celebrated the greatest annual Swedish Crayfish Party in Amsterdam!
We kicked off the autumn season with our festive Annual Crayfish Party on September 2, together with the Young Professionals, Svenska Klubben and SWEA for an evening of traditional Swedish festivities.
The crayfish season is one of the most popular cultural celebrations in Sweden. On September 2, we are welcoming you to the Rowing Club Amstel at de Hobbemakade in Amsterdam to welcome you back from the summer holiday and to celebrate with us.
We started off with a welcome drink on the beautiful terrace overlooking the Amstel River. A three-course crayfish menu was served that started with a quiche with green salad followed by unlimited crayfish, knäckebröd, and Swedish cheese. For dessert, we had coffee and Swedish Dajm tårta! When the hats and bibs were off, the tables and chairs were swept away the party continued with dancing to the music of DJ Percy.
We would like to especially thank Inter Ikea Systems and Nothern Delight for making this a magical evening!
