Walk into town – Hafnarfjörður welcomes you

Walk into town – Saturday, 9th May

Gulli the Baker is hosting breakfast in the glasshouse at Thorsplan tomorrow, Saturday 9th May. Bjarni Viðar, the town artist, is opening his studio. Gina Tricot has hidden gift vouchers all over the Fjord. These are part of the 'Walk into Town' event, organised by the Marketing Office of Hafnarfjörður.

'Walk in Town' will now be held for a second time. Businesses in Hafnarfjörður from all over town will be offering free food and discounts on their services.

„The aim of the day is to showcase the dynamism, creativity and diversity in the town's retail, catering and business sectors, and to draw attention to the varied and exciting activities of businesses in Hafnarfjörður,“ says Þóra Hrund Guðbrandsdóttir, Managing Director of the Marketing Bureau of Hafnarfjörður.

„The idea is simple – to open the doors, have a conversation and showcase all the good and diverse things that the business community in Hafnarfjörður has to offer.“

On this day, the companies invite residents of Hafnarfjörður and other visitors to come into town and enjoy a lovely day in the beautiful fjord. „This is a unique opportunity to get to know different businesses and their operations. In addition, we want to create a lively and fun atmosphere in the town where culture and leisure can be enjoyed alongside the business community,“ she says.
