The annual Vegan Festival at Thorsplan
It was a real feast of food and music for the whole family at the annual Vegan Festival in Thorsplan yesterday. Festival-goers enjoyed all sorts of vegan treats, browsed a diverse range of goods and art, and listened to the sweet sounds of Klara Elías, Ragnheiður Gröndal and other fantastic musicians from here in Hafnarfjörður.
