It is a fitting opportunity, now that brighter days lie ahead, to praise the people of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and the staff of the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and the businesses and institutions in the town for their exceptional adaptability and tolerance during a time that can truly be called unprecedented, as the community as a whole is experiencing and tackling previously unknown tasks and challenges.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>A big and heartfelt thank you to you all!&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This year, as was the case last year, there will be few events and a shared festive programme on the first of May itself, and the Hraunb\u00faar Scout Association parade and the FH Cross-Country Run at V\u00ed\u00f0ista\u00f0at\u00fan have been postponed. All groups are emphasising a cheerful approach to the current situation and are encouraging residents to look for entertainment and joy in their local area. After all, Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur is rather well-placed when it comes to adventure and joy on its doorstep. Thus, we celebrate summer in a different format for the second year running. Our two bouncy castles in V\u00ed\u00f0ista\u00f0at\u00fan and \u00d3la Run t\u00fan have been opened. Entry to our museums is free, as is swimming for children and young people aged 17 and under. We also point residents towards our idea map, which has undergone some changes since it was first introduced: the Little Guide to Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, Stu\u00f0kv\u00ed, and interesting places that are usually just around the corner:&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/en\/human-life\/the-health-resort\/stafrof-af-hugmyndum\/\">Here you can find a whole alphabet of ideas.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/skatarnir.is\/studkvi\/\">Here you can access Support \u2013 fun Scout projects<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ratleikur.fjardarfrettir.is\/litli-ratleikur-hafnarfjardar\/\">Here you can access the Little Rat Race of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur.<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"internal\" href=\"\/en\/human-life\/interesting-places\/\">Places of interest in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"internal\" href=\"\/en\/human-life\/the-health-resort\/utivist-og-nattura\/\">Outdoor activities and nature<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"internal\" href=\"\/en\/ibuar\/sports-and-outdoor-activities\/swimming-pools\/\">Our swimming pools&nbsp;<\/a>\u00c1svallalaug and Su\u00f0urb\u00e6jarlaug are open from 8 am to 5 pm on the first of May.
