WHAT HAPPENS THE FIRST WEEKEND IN AUGUST IN ICELAND?

Festivals, Campers & More Beers Than People!

Across the country, festivals pop up like mushrooms after rain. The most famous one is probably Þjóðhátíð in Vestmannaeyjar (The Westman Islands), where half the nation seems to teleport with tents, glowsticks, and enough party spirit to power Iceland for a week. It’s like Coachella... if Coachella had puffins, lava fields, and possibly your aunt in a wool sweater doing karaoke.

JÓNSMESSUNÓTT: ICELAND'S MIDSUMMER MADNESS
🗓️ June 23 — one magical night when Iceland says, “Let’s get weird.”

According to folklore, on Jónsmessunótt:

🐄 Cows talk (though eavesdropping is ill-advised)
🧜‍♂️ Seals turn human and go full party-mode
🌿 Rolling naked in dew cures everything (allegedly)
🪨 Invisibility stones may appear — grab one to vanish (and ghost your tour group)
🧝‍♀️ Elves show up at crossroads, offering gifts. Say yes? Who knows what happens...

🇮🇸 3 THINGS TO DO AROUND SUMMER SOLSTICE
🌅 Midnight Sun Run – Race through Reykjavík under the glowing night sky
🎶 LÓA Festival – Music, food, and endless golden-hour vibes
🐧 Puffin Watching – June is puffin prime time. Fluffy, photogenic, and mildly judgmental.

✨ Whether you're chasing elf gifts, running in the dew, or searching for invisibility rocks, Jónsmessunótt proves Iceland knows how to keep it magical. Come for the folklore, stay for the puffins. Have a look at our tours in top comment below.

TODAY IS THE ICELANDIC INDEPENDENCE DAY! 🇮🇸

Icelandic Independence Day is celebrated on 17 June each year. It is a national holiday in Iceland, commemorating the country’s independence from Denmark and the establishment of the Republic of Iceland in 1944.

🇮🇸 Celebrations and Traditions

Ceremonies: The main national ceremony usually takes place in Reykjavík, featuring speeches, parades, and a reading of poetry. A woman dressed as Fjallkonan (the "Lady of the Mountain") recites a patriotic poem.

Fjallkonan: This iconic figure represents the spirit and nature of Iceland. She wears a traditional costume and speaks to the people, invoking national pride and unity.

Parades and Music: Towns across the country hold parades, with marching bands, flag-bearers, and colorful costumes. There's a strong family atmosphere, and music plays a big role.

Family Festivities: Icelanders gather for concerts, games, street theater, and outdoor activities. It's a popular day for children’s entertainment, ice cream, and enjoying summer weather (Icelandic summer weather 🙂 )
