Winter Lights Festival - Late February (annual)

With the longest, darkest winter nights coming to an end, Reykjavik celebrate the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak, with a multi-arts festival. Anything from fashion shows to figure skating to outdoor choral performances to belly-dancing troupes. Street theatre, music, dance are part of the celebration. Events for all the family will entertain visitors and locals alike and many shops, galleries and restaurants also join in the fun.
The aim of this exotic festival is to cast a light on the city at the end of the long and dark winter months. The festival is celebrated all over the city with various activities, like concerts, sport activities reading of the ghost stories, masses parad es and fireworks. Many of Reykjavik's art establishments, clubs, galleries and associations join in the fun with events, performances, exhibitions and parties taking place in various venues throughout the city.
Festival of lights is a joint project of Reykjavik Energy, National Power Company, University of Iceland, National Museum of Iceland and Reykjaviks Kindergartens and Elementary Schools.
