About this Event
Our New Tradition: Ivanhoe & Pizza
In Sweden, New Year’s Day is famously relaxed—and for many families, it includes a cozy, much-loved ritual: watching the classic 1982 film Ivanhoe on television while enjoying pizza. Since 1988, Swedish public television has broadcast Ivanhoe every New Year’s Day, and its familiar scenes and music have come to signal a gentle pause after the excitement of New Year’s Eve.
Together, Ivanhoe and pizza represent a modern Swedish tradition of slowing down, gathering with family or friends, and easing into the year ahead with comfort and togetherness.
We’re putting our own spin on this tradition at the Swedish Club! While we’ll be celebrating on January 2nd, we’re embracing the spirit of the custom—sharing a beloved classic, good food, and great company. In true modern fashion, our evening includes pizza and salad, making it relaxed, social, and entirely our own.
Please note: You can enjoy the movie + bar, without ordering pizza.
