Episode #3: Andri Ómarsson, Events Project Manager 

In this episode of Vitan, the City of Hafnarfjörður's podcast, Communications Manager Árdís Ármannsdóttir talks to Events Project Manager Andri Ómarsson. Hafnarfjörður has firmly established itself as a cultural city in recent years, with a wide variety of events and entertainment on offer each week, which has had a very positive impact on the community as a whole and on local businesses. As a result, numerous new restaurants and cafés have sprung up all over the town, and the number of domestic and international visitors has increased significantly. Visitors come here for a variety of reasons, to experience the beautiful surroundings and natural wonders, attend concerts in the heart of Hafnarfjörður, plays and art exhibitions, visit a café or go out for a meal, or to experience art, history, design and all kinds of happiness in the shops and stores around town. Andri goes over the regular events on offer throughout the year, discussing the unique community spirit of Hafnarfjörður's residents and the importance of individual initiative. Christmas is just around the corner, and preparations for the Christmas Village in Hafnarfjörður are in full swing, as it is a major festival that takes place every weekend in December and involves many people. A festival that has become well-known to most Icelanders and a firm fixture and tradition in the run-up to Christmas.
