The music and town festival Hjarta Hafnarfjar\u00f0ar begins today. This longest music festival in the country is a professional and splendid initiative by P\u00e1ll Eyj\u00f3lfsson and P\u00e9tur Stephensen, who have run the cultural centre B\u00e6jarb\u00ed\u00f3 for the past few years. A varied music programme will take place both indoors and outdoors at a special open-air venue set up in the car park of the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Library. <\/p>\n
Bj\u00f6rgvin's star will be unveiled this evening at 7 p.m. and the ceremony is open to everyone. The Heart of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur kicks off this evening with the unveiling of a star dedicated to Bj\u00f6rgvin Halld\u00f3rsson on the pavement outside the B\u00e6jarb\u00ed\u00f3 cinema. J\u00f3natan Gar\u00f0arsson will open the festival with a speech about Bj\u00f6rgvin, one of the country's foremost singers, who was born and raised in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. B\u00e6jarb\u00ed\u00f3 has hosted a vibrant concert scene in recent years, and Bj\u00f6rgvin himself has performed there. However, this evening a host of artists will take to the stage in honour of the star, Bj\u00f6rgvin, with many musicians either living in or hailing from Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. However, it will not just be Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur residents performing tonight, but also friends of the town. This is the third year the Hjarta Hafnarfjar\u00f0ar music festival has been held, and the festival has grown and thrived with each passing year, becoming one of the largest music festivals of its kind organised by a municipality. <\/p>\n
