Welcome to Houston! |

The Swedish Club of Houston welcomes Camp Sweden (the Swedish National Soccer Team fan club) and all visitors to Houston for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. To help make your stay both enjoyable and memorable, we’ve curated this selection of recommended restaurants, sightseeing, and live music experiences.
Note that this list represents only a small sample of the exceptional cuisine and vibrant culture Houston—one of the most diverse food cities in the United States—has to offer. |

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.

Swedish Club Lucia |
|
|
 Applications for the Swedish Club of Houston's 2026 Lucia are now being accepted. Our 2026 Lucia will be presented at the Swedish Christmas Traditions and Lucia Procession.
Candidates must be young women between the ages of 16 and 24, and they must be members of the Club. In addition, they must be able to attend the Swedish Christmas Traditions program, and they must also be able to represent the Club at the Texas Day celebration in Barkeryd, Sweden on Sunday, August 1, 2027. A portion of the round-trip airfare from Houston to Sweden will be provided for our 2026 Lucia.
As ambassador of the Swedish Club of Houston, our Lucia will be in a parade and send greetings to the people of Barkeryd on behalf of the Club. Finally, our Lucia must be able to attend the following year's Annual Meeting (usually the last Saturday in January) to give a presentation about her adventures in Sweden.
The Lucia program has provided a wonderful way to travel and learn about our Swedish ancestry and our Texas connection with Barkeryd, Sweden since 1987. |
