About Us

Hej. Kom in. The House of Sweden is a true gem. Recently remodeled with inspiration from Carl Larsson, the cottage is spacious, beautiful, and charming. Our members have heart, friendship, culture appreciation, and secret recipes for meatball gravy and Glögg that will knock-your-socks-off.

Our objectives are few. Two to be exact. We promote Swedish social and educational programs and perpetuate and preserve the Swedish culture, customs, traditions, art, songs, dances, and language as a precious heritage for future generations.

Our civic contributions are many. The House of Sweden annually hosts a Midsummer celebration in the park, complete with maypole, dancing, music and authentic Swedish cuisine. We are dedicated participants in San Diego’s Ethnic Food Fair in May, and everyone’s holiday favorite, December Nights. Every Sunday, members open the cottage and welcome visitors with coffee and delicious pastries.

Do you love Sweden, too? Membership in the House of Sweden is open to: Persons of Swedish birth; Individuals of Swedish decent; Persons married to one of the above; and Individuals with a special interest in Swedish culture. Our 2003 Member of the Year was Japanese. How is that for culture sharing?! Contact membership chair Eivor Carlson to join: (858) 459-6606. We will see you there. Tack.

Come for the Glögg... Stay for the Culture!
