REYKJAVÍK IN JUNE
Viking Festival
Fjörukráin
June 14 - 17
Adults 800 ISK, Children 500 ISK
They could be Vikings failing terribly at fitting into modern society, or a group of normal people put-
ting on a heck of a show. Either way, the annual Viking Festival is one where Fjörukráin’s yard turns
into a medieval market place filled with handmade souvenirs, wool clothes and fine silver. There will
also be a medieval dance-off, as well as exhibition fights from the Hafnarfjörður Viking society Rim-
mugýgur (pictured above). The festival is family friendly, and sure to offer lots of Kodak moments. Just
ask one of the burly bare-chested bearded men to pretend to cut your head off with that heavy axe;
I’m sure they’ll be up for it! TGB
