The Bright Days are coming, a cultural festival that reflects all the diverse cultural activities taking place in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, organised by institutions, voluntary organisations, businesses and individuals. The Bright Days begin with the first town festival of the summer, from 20th to 24th April. The festival has coincided with the first day of summer in recent years but, as in the last two years, will run for longer and serve as the centrepiece of a diverse range of cultural events this summer. Events that encourage residents to take an active part and enjoy quality time together.<\/p>\n

Summer takes over from winter on Bright Days<\/h4>\n

The festival begins on the last day of winter with a summer song by the students, the selection of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur's town artist, the presentation of cultural grants and the HEIMA music festival, a unique music festival that takes place in private homes in the centre of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. On the first of May, there will be birdwatching at Hvaleyrarvatn, a cross-country run in the centre of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, and a Scout programme at Thorsplani.<\/p>\n
