Awards were presented for the best decorated houses and beautiful street scenes in Hafnarfjörður in the run-up to Christmas 2024.
At the beginning of December, residents of Hafnarfjörður and other interested parties were encouraged to put on their big festive glasses and send in a tip about the houses, businesses and streets in Hafnarfjörður that stand out for their Christmas decorations this year. The Culture and Tourism Committee announced the winners, and residents received the award at Thorsplani on Sunday, 15 December.
Everyone received a beautiful Christmas decoration from the flower shop, Burknar.
Hafnarfjörður Cemeteries
Hafnarfjörður Cemeteries received special recognition for creating a warm and festive atmosphere during Advent. Their service, which allows relatives to light up the paths of deceased loved ones, has been available since 1956 and is unique nationwide.
The lights in the churchyard not only illuminate the grounds but also delight and warm the hearts of everyone driving through the town. The same family has carried out this service for decades, creating a precious legacy and a unique Christmas beauty.
