Best Decorated Houses and Best Decorated Street 2021

Awards presented – these were deemed the most successful decorations this year.  

This week, awards were presented for the best-decorated houses and best-decorated streets in Hafnarfjörður. At the beginning of December, residents of Hafnarfjörður and other interested parties were encouraged to put on their big Christmas glasses and submit a nomination for the houses and streets in Hafnarfjörður that stand out in this year's Christmas decorations. 

Guðbjörg Oddný Jónasdóttir, chair of the Culture and Tourism Committee, visited the award recipients this week and presented residents with certificates and trees from the Hafnarfjörður Forestry Association, with the selection made by the Culture and Tourism Committee of the City of Hafnarfjörður.
