National Day At The
Museum
Iceland National Day & Parade
June 17 | Árbær Open Air Museum, Kistuhyl, 110 Reykjavík | Admission: Free for
people wearing national costume
Let’s celebrate! Þjóðhátíðardagurinn (let’s just call it Icelandic
National Day, shall we?) is an annual holiday in Iceland which
commemorates the foundation of The Republic of Iceland on 17
June 1944 and its independence from Danish rule. Today, this
can only mean a parade—one headed by riders on horses, plus
a brass band and flagbearers from the Icelandic scout move-
ment. The parade begins from Hlemmur at 13:00, continuing
down Laugavegur and from Hagatorg to Hljómskálagarður.
You can also celebrate Icelandic history at the Árbær Open Air
Museum, where traditional costumes and vintage cars are on
display. GR
