August is a party month

IF it’s August in Malmo, Sweden, or Copenhagen, Denmark, then it must be party time.

The festivities begin on August 17 and last a couple of weeks, with the emphasis on music and food.

Nobody visiting Sweden in August can fail to miss the shop windows displaying every possible variation on the theme ‘Crayfish’. The Swedes worship the crayfish and August is the time to experience the annual Crayfish Party which takes place in most homes and restaurants.
