A glimpse of Secret Solstice music festival

Icelanders plain and simple just love festivals. Throughout the year there are many festivals and events held all over the country. Whether it be a music, activity or simply camping together. And for some the music and art scene is the biggest draw. Iceland offers anything from one-venue happenings to impressive multi-venue festivals where on show there are along with Icelandic talents often performances by international acts and artists. This is also a lovely way to meet the locals who especially in the smaller towns are very involved with the festival and proud to share the experience with their visitors. The summer ahead is no different. Here you have a little sneak peek on what Iceland has to offer this year.

Yes, you read right. Beer Day. Even though Icelanders have a reputation of being big drinkers, beer has been legal only since March 1, 1989. So why not celebrate the end of the 74-year prohibition annually!
