Lucia Celebration at The Swedish Club

The Swedish Club's annual Lucia Celebration is a cherished holiday tradition in Seattle, featuring a collaboration with the University of Washington Scandinavian Department. The event includes a traditional Santa Lucia procession with candlelight, Swedish Christmas carols, folk dancing, and festive treats. The Lucia tradition commemorates St. Lucy, the Sicilian saint adopted as a symbol of light in the dark Scandinavian winter.
