We're inviting you to Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur for the first town festival of the summer!<\/p>\n
The Bright Days in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur are taking place from 19th to 23rd April, where the town's institutions, voluntary organisations, businesses and individuals are hosting a wide variety of events.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Special emphasis is placed on the participation of children and young people, as the First of May is part of the celebrations. Various musical events play a major part in this year's Bright Days programme, and on Friday evening, museums and artists' studios will be open late. Additionally, individuals, choirs and various societies are organising a wide range of events, and the town's cultural institutions are offering an entertaining programme.<\/p>\n The HEIMA music festival<\/strong> Now in its fourth year, it has truly established itself as a fun and unique music festival, offering a different experience and a greater sense of intimacy than concert-goers and artists are used to. As before, families will open their homes in the centre of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, and in each house, two different artists or bands will perform. This year, there are thirteen artists in total, and they will all perform twice in their respective HEIMA house in the town centre. They are not all playing at the same time, so those who are most diligent about strolling between houses can see quite a few performances.<\/p>\n A varied family programme will be on May Day in V\u00ed\u00f0ista\u00f0at\u00fan<\/strong>. The day begins with a cross-country run and ends with a lorry rally, and the townspeople are also invited to sail in dinghies and keelboats at Flensburg Harbour.<\/p>\n The strength and vibrancy of the arts scene in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur has, among other things, been reflected in the event. Walk into town<\/strong> Artists, designers and craftspeople from the area, from the small boat harbour to the centre of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, open their studios and welcome visitors. On this evening, Hafnarborg and the Folk Museum are also open until 22:00. At Hafnarborg, the career of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur's Artist in Residence, who will be appointed on the last day of winter, will be specially reviewed. The Culture and Tourism Committee will also award grants for events and cultural activities.<\/p>\n Grand Concert Brotherhood<\/strong> The brothers Fri\u00f0rik D\u00f3r and J\u00f3n J\u00f3nsson will be at the Strandgata Sports Hall on Saturday, 22nd April at 14:00 and 16:00. 12 songs will be performed, arranged by teachers from the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Music School. Around 200 students from the music school and the L\u00e6kjarsk\u00f3li choir will perform songs such as Fr\u00f6ken Reykjav\u00edk, Lj\u00faft a\u00f0 vera til, Gef\u00f0u allt sem \u00fe\u00fa \u00e1tt and more. A rehearsal will take place on 19 April, and the final rehearsal will be in the sports hall at 18:00 on Friday, 21 April. This will be a good opportunity to take photographs or to broadcast live.<\/p>\n For further information about the Bright Days, please contact Andri \u00d3marsson on 664 5779.<\/p>\n For further information about HEIMA, please contact Henny Mar\u00eda Fr\u00edmannsd\u00f3ttir on 893 3183.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vi\u00f0 bj\u00f3\u00f0um HEIM \u00ed Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0 \u00e1 fyrstu b\u00e6jarh\u00e1t\u00ed\u00f0 sumarsins!
