SAVE the DATE for the Swedish Crayfish Party 2026 in Beijing on 4 September, 2026. More info comes soon in June 2026.
Swedes have been celebrating the start of crayfish seasons since the late 1800s, however once upon a time it was only enjoyed by royals. These days everyone eats crayfish, and special crayfish parties are held in the evenings in early August once the crayfish fishing season is under way in Sweden.
