Or wait, do we still do that? Well, we’re celebrating with hot dogs, flags and balloons, and a lot of free events. Expect to be rudely awaken as all the church bells in the capital go off at once, reminding you to see our bishop preaching in Dómkirkjan. The festivities begin just after 11 at Austurvöllur with a number of people wanting to show off their excellent voice, including choirs, singers, and our new prime minister (we hope he does Duran Duran’s ‘Wild Boys,’ but we suspect he’ll just make a speech). At 13:00, parades start from Hlemmur, as well as festivities in Hljóm- skálagarður and children’s events at Arnarhóll. Then Arnarhóll turns into a stage, so head there to catch bands like Retro Stefson and Ojba Rasta play for free. You are pretty much guaranteed to see something fun if you head out, so stop reading this and just have a good time already! Don’t expect to get any good parking spots, but busses will be running on a Sunday schedule. TGB Photo by Sigfús Már Pétursson National Pride, Candy Floss & Hot Dogs! Icelandic Independence Day Free! Get Lost "A Small World" by Soffía Sæmundsdóttir "A real traveller doesn't need a place to stay but for the night," reads Soffía Sæmundsdóttir's artist statement. Soffía's latest exhibition, "A Small World," explores the relationship between the fleeting freedom of travel and the comfort of permanence. Get lost. Get found. Move around. In the end, it's all about locating yourself. PY June 1-16 | The Icelandic Printmakers Association | Free!
