February 9-12
It's A Gay World
Winter Pride Festival
Reykjavik Pride is held in August but c’mon,
we should be celebrating sexual diversity all
year. The Winter Pride Festival is the answer
to this. With trips to the Golden Circle and
the Blue Lagoon during the day and club
nights at night, there’s something for both
locals and foreigners. Don’t miss their Pink
Masquerade Party on February 11. HJC

No Lochness Here
KEX Hostel Scottish Festival (Burns Night)
It's time to celebrate the Scots at KEX. First
off is the special Scottish menu, featuring
haggis, lamb, stew and other authentic
Scottish delicacies. Next up is some Scottish
whisky, smooth as a baby's bottom. Finish
off the night with some Scottish tunes. The
Scottish band Dosca will be performing
some traditional and alternative Scottish
music. Make sure to wear your kilt. HJC

Stockfish Film Festival
The Stockfish Film Festival consists of 30
handpicked films from all over the world.
Combined with that is a competition only

Iceland and have no attention span, you’ll be
fine too. HJC

Icelandic Beer Festival
KEX Hostel | Admission: 9.900 ISK
Drinking culture in Reykjavík has under-
gone a renaissance in recent years. The
Icelandic Beer Festival celebrates the city’s
evolving palette by bringing together Ice-
land’s major brewers and up-and-coming
players alongside a curated selection of
international guests, all pouring distinc-
tive, creative, unusual brews. Discern-
ing beer nerds descend from around the
world, making for a buzzing atmosphere.
And unlike a wine tasting, nobody here is
spitting anything out. JR
Winter Lights Festival
Various Locations l | Admission:: Free!
As we pass midwinter, the days are al-
ready getting longer, but with only five
hours of sunlight each day, Reykjavík’s
Winter Lights festival is always welcome.
This annual event brightens up the town
with a mixture of outdoor illuminations
and concerts, a 5k Northern Lights run,
and lively city-wide social events such
as the much-loved museum night and a
pool night, when entry to the city’s most
beloved museums and swimming pools
is free of charge. Keep your shades on
throughout for extra cool points. We dare
you. JP
