Hot Nordic Nights: A Tiki Cruise

Get ready to set sail for a tropical night with a Nordic twist! Join us on Wednesday, August 26, as we depart from Fishermen's Terminal for a 7–9 PM cruise filled with great music, cocktails, costumes, and the ultimate Scandinavian soundtrack.

We'll be cruising around Lake Union on a beautiful late-summer evening. Grab a drink, soak in the views, sing along to your favorite songs, and enjoy the best of summer from the water.

We'll be celebrating Sweden's incredible pop legacy—from ABBA, Ace of Base, Roxette, and Robyn to chart-topping hits crafted by legendary Swedish hitmakers like Max Martin. If you've ever danced to Britney Spears, Bon Jovi, Madonna, Adele, the Backstreet Boys, or Taylor Swift, you've already been enjoying the magic of Swedish pop. You never know what favorite is coming up next!

This is a party on the water, so come ready for a soundtrack that turns up, plenty of singing along, and a boat full of summer energy. It’s the perfect night to dance, celebrate, and embrace the music—this isn’t a quiet sightseeing cruise!

Dressing up is highly encouraged! Think tiki shirts with Nordic flair, tropical glam, flower leis, Swedish summer vibes, or your best disco-meets-tiki-meets-Scandinavian style. Channel a little ABBA sparkle, a little Mamma Mia magic, or your own summer pop-star moment. The more fabulous, the better.

Rain or shine, we sail—because in true Nordic spirit: it's not the weather, it's the gear.

This 21+ cruise combines tropical fun, Scandinavian spirit, and a memorable evening on the water. A special Nordic-inspired tiki cocktail menu, along with beer, wine, cider, seltzer, nonalcoholic beverages, and snacks, will be available for purchase on board (not included in the ticket price). No outside food or drinks, please.

With room for just 34 guests, tickets are limited. Grab yours today and join us for a summer evening of Swedish pop, golden-hour views around Lake Union, creative cocktails, and Hot Nordic fun!

The trio features Ethan Francis, Candra Edwards, and Elliot Kennedy, whose shared passion for early American music has taken them to performances across the country.

Joining them for this special evening is acclaimed pianist Andrew Oliver, celebrated for his energetic and authentic interpretations of early jazz piano. Influenced by legendary musicians including Jelly Roll Morton, James P.

The Inaugural Jenny Lind Day at the Club

We are delighted to introduce a new Club tradition: Jenny Lind Day — an annual celebration of music, history, and the remarkable legacy of one of the 19th century’s most beloved performers.

For our inaugural celebration, guests are invited to join us for an elegant evening beginning with a welcome glass of wine and time to gather with friends before the performance. The evening will continue with a special concert Under the Chandelier, where the beauty and intimacy of live music will bring the spirit of Jenny Lind’s era to life.

Together, we will celebrate the artistry, generosity, and timeless influence of the woman known around the world as the “Swedish Nightingale.”

Why Jenny Lind?

Jenny Lind was more than a celebrated singer — she was a symbol of artistry, elegance, and generosity whose influence reached far beyond the concert stage.

With a voice that captivated audiences across Europe and America, Jenny Lind became one of the first true international superstars. Her performances brought people together and created a shared cultural experience that transcended borders.

Yet what made Jenny Lind truly extraordinary was not only her talent, but the way she used her success. She was known for her humility and philanthropy, dedicating much of her fortune to charitable causes and using her influence to support education, children, and communities in need.

Jenny Lind’s legacy reminds us that great artistry has the power to inspire, connect, and give back. She represented a rare combination of excellence, grace, and purpose — qualities that continue to resonate today.

With the inaugural Jenny Lind Day, we celebrate that same spirit at the Club: gathering together, enjoying exceptional music, and creating moments that will become part of our shared history.

Please join us for the first annual Jenny Lind Day — an evening of music, friendship, and celebration Under the Chandelier.

Viking Disco: Leif Erikson’s Birthday Bash

On October 9th, we’re celebrating the one and only Leif Erikson the only way that makes sense: with a full-blown Viking Disco. Because obviously, if anyone deserves a dance floor, mead vibes, and a mirror ball, it’s him.

Doors + bar open at 5PM, and the music kicks off at 7PM—giving you plenty of time to settle in, grab a drink, and assemble your fiercest attire.

Costumes are highly encouraged—think Norse meets disco, the more dramatic the better.

Come ready to raid the dance floor. Valhalla would absolutely approve. 🪩⚔️

About Leif Erikson
Leif Erikson was a Norse explorer from Iceland, believed to have been born around 970 CE. He is widely credited as one of the first Europeans to set foot in North America—nearly 500 years before Christopher Columbus—where he is said to have established a settlement known as Vinland, likely located in what is now coastal Canada. Son of Erik the Red, Leif is a central figure in the Icelandic sagas and a symbol of exploration, curiosity, and seafaring adventure.

Here in Seattle, his legacy is especially visible: a statue of Leif Erikson stands at Shilshole Bay, reflecting the city’s maritime identity and Scandinavian heritage. Other notable monuments honoring him can be found in places like Boston, Massachusetts, and Reykjavík, Iceland.

About Speaker: Anita Karlsson-Dion

I am a happy hobby knitter with a great love for the Binge tradition and its beautiful patterns. My grandmother Rut taught me how to knit when I was about 10 years old. The Binge sweaters she knitted for me and my sister are now precious heirlooms that remind us of her craftsmanship and her love for us.

With a degree in Business and Economics from the Stockholm School of Economics, an Olympian, and a former Director of Finance and later Managing Partner at IBM Consulting in the USA, I now have the opportunity, time, and occasion as a 'young' retiree to enjoy knitting even more. My family and I still live in New York, and knitting Binge is an opportunity for me to remember and show respect for my Swedish female ancestors and their craftsmanship. I want to actively participate in spreading and bringing this Swedish cultural heritage to life for future generations, both within and beyond Sweden's borders.
