National Day of Iceland - June 17

Each year through most of the major towns and cities across Iceland, parades and musical celebrations take place to commemorate the date of Iceland attaining independence from Denmark in 1944. The day is a celebration of Icelandic culture exploring many of the myths and traditions associated with this fascinating land. The greatest celebrations are in Reykjavik with parades, street theaters and music, side shows and dancing, but throughout the country the day is a festive occasion. Celebrated all around the island, the Independence Day is truly a family festival and children love it.
