SWEDISH CRAYFISH PARTY

Crayfish parties are one of the highlights of the Swedish calendar. Every August Swedes go crazy putting on silly hats, lighting moon shaped paper lanterns, eating lots of fresh water crayfish, drinking beer and snaps and singing increasingly silly songs. A crayfish party, called kräftskiva, is a big event enjoyed by people of all ages. It should be held outside under the light of paper lanterns.
