Raw Food Talk
Thursday, August 7
Recently, over 100 people packed
the Rope Yoga Studio to listen
to Angela Stokes, author of
‘Raw Emotions’ talk about the
raw food eating movement. By
adopting a healthy lifestyle and
embracing natural healthcare,
she experienced a full recovery
from obesity, losing 70kg of
weight in the process. Alongside
partner Matt Monarch, Stokes is
now focusing on helping others
embrace her passion. As well
as the benefits of eating raw,
the couple will comment on the
emotional and spiritual shifts they
have experienced. Hear all about
it at on August 7 at Organic Kaffi
Hljómalind, Laugavegur 23, from
18:00 to 22:00. The price is 1500
ISK, with food and drinks sold
separately.
Verslunarmannahelgin
Fri, August 1 – Sun, August 3
The. Big. One. While the weekend
sees outdoor festivals all around
the countryside during this largest
travel weekend in Iceland, just
about every bar in the city will be
getting in on the public holiday
act. Innipúkinn, Jack Live and
Organ’s 1st Birthday Festival are
the big three concert festivals
in Reykjavík this weekend. If
you don’t fancy heading to just
one event though, a good bet
will to simply wander / stagger
around and absorb the carnival
atmosphere that will be cranked
up even more than your average
night on the tiles. Check out
our listings section for further
information, or roll up at www.

Ormsteiti (Carnival)
Fri, August 15 – Sun, August 24
Fljótsdalhérað’s cultural centre
in the East Fjords, in cooperation
with the Irish Performing Art
group Nanu-Nanu, has organized
a week long carnival, complete
with workshops on all aspects of
carnival organization. The goal of
this project is to create a tradition
for carnival in the eastern part of
Iceland, so that the carnival can
become a dynamic annual event.
Managing the event is Jónas
Steinsson who was formerly the
head of Circus Atlantis. For more
information see www.ormsteiti.is.

On August 6, be prepared for a night of
glitter and glam as the Icelandic Drag
Competition will be held at the Icelandic
Opera. The competition is held for the
eleventh time, and the theme this year is
ghosts, so get prepared for some spooky
stuff. Doors open at 8pm and the main
event starts at 9pm. The opening-act will
be the biggest event in the competition’s
history, featuring the drag kings and
queens and the Icelandic Circus. Pre-
sale tickets are being sold at Q-Bar for
1800 ISK, but get your tickets early, as
there are only 200 presale available and
you really don’t wanna miss out on this!
Last year, 400 people attended the event
and five contestants competed. This year
the ante will be upped to eight competi-
tors. The host of the night is singer Haffi
Haff, the Opera’s bar will serve drinks all
throughout the festivities and following
the drag competition, there will be an
after-party at Q-Bar.
