SWEA Boston 40 years - A Tapestry of Friendship and Cultural Exchange

Since 1985, SWEA Boston, a vibrant non-profit organization, has been the heartbeat of Swedish-American friendship and cultural preservation in the New England region.

This special photographic tribute celebrates four decades of unity, shared experiences, and the unyielding spirit of the Swedish women who have woven this tapestry of camaraderie and community.

This timeline of SWEA Boston’s history shows the faces of those who have shaped and been shaped by the organization and captures the essence of what SWEA Boston represents: the enduring warmth of Swedish "fika," the vibrant hues of midsummer celebrations, the unmistakable joy of Christmas celebration along with the many other significant traditions and the pride in sharing them all.

We invite you to join us in this celebration of friendship, tradition, and the unyielding spirit that has carried SWEA Boston through four decades of growth and achievement.

Join us for the opening reception. Light refreshments served.
