Welcome! |

One of the objectives and goals of the Swedish Club of Houston is to locate and join together people interested in Swedish heritage (Swedes, Swedish descendants, and others) in the Houston area, primarily through informal events and get-togethers, social as well as cultural.
The Club currently counts just under 120 members who meet at various events throughout the year, such as the annual Pea Soup and Pancakes supper, Kräftskiva (Crayfish Party), Valborgsmässoafton (Bonfire), Smörgåsbord, and Christmas Traditions/Lucia program, as well as special events centered around cultural happenings.

Friends of Lucia |
|
|
As everyone knows, Continental Airlines is no more (and, as a result, we have lost our sponsor of Lucia's airfare from Houston to Sweden). Thus, it becomes incumbent upon the members of the Club to step up and donate to support the long-standing tradition of the Club of sending its Lucia to Sweden. A number of sponsorship levels are available:

Eurovision Song Contest Watch Party |
|
|
The Eurovision Song Contest, often called Eurovision, is organized by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and has been held annually since 1956 -- making it the longest-running international music competition on television (except for 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic). It was originally designed to unite European countries through live televised music, but now nations outside Europe are invited to participate as well.
Eurovision is often described as the “Olympics of pop music”, attracting a global audience of over 180 million viewers. The Swedish Club of Houston is co-hosting (along with the Houston Saengerbund) a Eurovision Song Contest Watch Party on Saturday, May 16 beginning at 2:00 PM; all of the participating Nordic and Germanic clubs in Houston have been invited!

Swedish Language School |
|
|
The Swedish Club of Houston has maintained a Swedish Language School for many years.
As student enrollment demands, the school offers classes at several levels. Instruction is by native speakers of Swedish, and a conversational approach is emphasized since most persons wishing to learn Swedish want to be able to speak it when visiting Sweden. The school operates on a 15-week semester basis.
The Spring 2026 Beginner class will resume on Monday 02/02/2026 from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM and meet mostly virtually for 15 weeks; the Advanced classes will resume a week earlier on Wednesday 01/28/2026 from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM and meet in person at Houston Saengerbund,
1703 Heights Blvd, Houston. Classes will not meed the week of March 9-13 due to Spring Break. All classes will continue where they left off last fall.
The cost is modest, and varies according to the cost of materials, which come from Sweden. Click here to register!
