What is a Crayfish Party?
A Crayfish Party is a traditional summertime eating and drinking celebration in Scandinavian countries. The tradition originated in Sweden over 500 years ago. Back in the 16th century, Crayfish were considered a delicacy for only the wealthy. Then in the mid-19th century, Swedish families across the country started eating crayfish. Crayfish feasts are an opportunity for friends and family to get together to eat, drink, party and enjoy the last weeks of long summer Swedish nights. IKEA continues the Crayfish tradition, well into its fourth consecutive year here in the US.
