This Saturday, August 20th, the city of Reykjavík welcomes you to Reykjavík Culture Night, an annual even in the city since 1996. It has become an essential part of the cultural life in Iceland and thousands of people attend every year.
Culture Night offers the chance to enjoy a variety of activities ranging from guided tours, traditional shows and exhibitions to more unusual happenings. A number of cultural institutes such as galleries, ateliers, shops, cafes, churches, restaurants and bars in downtown of Reykjavik stay open until late.
There are way too many interesting things happening to mention a single one so we recommend you take a look at the program in English and see for yourself all that is on offer.
The highlight of every Culture Night is the fireworks show that finishes off the evening at 23:00. Below you can see a video from last years firework show.
