24 Hours in ... Malmö!
Who best to tell us about the
best places to visit in a new
city than those who live there?
AIC Malmö president Kirstin
Kriz takes us on a whistle-stop
tour of Malmö.
Our club was founded by Lisa (Richter)
Fagerberg in November 1997 as the
American Women’s Club (AWC) Malmö,
its name until June 2021, when it was changed
to AIC Malmö to be more inclusive and reflect
the current demographics of the club
membership. The purpose of the association
is to bring together Americans and other
international expats for companionship, support
and friendship. We currently have approximately
170 members, mainly living in the Malmö/Lund
area of southern Sweden. Approximately 72%
of the club membership are American citizens
and 28% are international expats.
The club hosts monthly activities, holiday and
special events. The monthly activities include a
book group, a baby and toddler group, lunches
in Lund, and meetings with a speaker or a group
event such as bowling, boating or mini-golf.
Larger club events are usually focused on
holidays, including a Halloween Trick-or-Treat
party for children, Thanksgiving potluck dinner,
an end-of-year Glögg party for adults, St. Patrick’s
Day dinner at an Irish pub, Easter egg hunting for
kids, Mother’s Day brunch, and of course our
annual Independence Day barbeque and picnic.
