GALLERIES & MUSEUMS IN JULY
Folk Music Brings Its Best To Iceland!!!
Siglufjörður Folk Music Festival
July 6-10
Siglufjörður
Free
Not going to Eistnaflug but still can’t bear another weekend in Reykjavík? Why not
head for the anti-Eistnaflug: the Siglufjörður Folk Music Festival! Reportedly a great
opportunity to discover folk music not only through concerts with artists like Mógil
and Tropicalia, but also through interesting workshops and lectures about folk
music and the culture associated with it.
The best part is that the whole family can enjoy the event together. Thursday
sees a play for kids put on by theatre company Möguleikhúsið, and Thursday and
Friday offer all kinds of workshops with singing, South-American instrumental
music, Icelandic folk dances, and salsa dancing. Sounds like fun!
