Children's Culture Festival
April 19 - 24 | Admission: Free!
The Icelandic Children’s Culture Festival is a platform for cre-
ativity, culture, art and, above all, having fun—all fields in
which children seem to excel. The festival’s events take place
in various venues around Reykjavík, like swimming pools,
schoolyards and even on the streets. Workshops, concerts and
exhibitions are part of the program, including a journalism
workshop, photography competition and a performance from
the youth circus, to name a few. It’s safe to say that there will
be something for every child. The festival is a feast for the
young and creative minds of children, parents and grand-par-
ents alike! HBG
