It has been a good and joyful tradition to celebrate Shrove Tuesday in Hafnarfjörður, as there is little more fun than dressing up in all sorts of costumes and having a good time. Schools in Hafnarfjörður arrange their own programmes.
Happy Ash Wednesday!
It has been a good and joyful tradition to celebrate Shrove Tuesday in Hafnarfjörður, as there is little more fun than dressing up in all sorts of costumes and having a good time. For us adults, it is a great pleasure to see these little and slightly bigger treasures singing and playing, bringing great joy to themselves and others, both within the schools during the school day and even around the town after school.
Hafnarfjörður's Customer Service, Hafnarborg and the Hafnarfjörður Library are delighted to welcome cheerful, singing children and young people after school, and Bæjarbíó has also decided to hold an open house for cheerful, singing groups and individuals. It has been heard that the staff at Bæjarbíó are planning to set up a small stage in the area so that singing, cheerful residents of Hafnarfjörður can perform in the Heart of Hafnarfjörður on Ash Wednesday itself.
Ash Wednesday in the local area – a shortened day at schools
Children in Hafnarfjörður are experiencing Ash Wednesday entertainment in their local area this year, just as in previous years, and it is a system that has proved very successful. In most, if not all, cases, primary schools in Hafnarfjörður have a shortened day and the school routine is broken up with festivities, with each school, after-school club and youth centre organising its own programme.
There is no organised programme in the town centre, but there are doubtless some shops and other places that will give a warm welcome to singing lads and lasses.
