Sweden Day, an annual event celebrated in the New York metropolitan area for over half a century, will take
place on Saturday June 14, 2008 at The Manhem Club in Throgs Neck "the Scandinavian Secret on the Sound."
New York's only Scandinavian beach club will be the site for the 68th Annual Sweden Day, a daylong
celebration of Swedish Midsummer.
Sweden Day festival will be an event to be enjoyed by the whole family with the beach open, food ranging from
Swedish meatballs, to burgers and franks. There will be midsummer pole decorating and dancing,
Swedish Folk music, folkdancing, children's games, scholarship awards, and the popular Miss Sweden Day
Contest with a round-trip ticket to Sweden via SAS for the winner. A general raffle is also available to the
public for a lucky winner of an airline trip to Sweden, and other exciting prizes.
The ethereal Tribute in Light memorial was designed to help lessen the aching loss felt across the country since 9/11. It is a profound symbol of strength, hope and resiliency.
