The opening weekend of the Christmas Village on Thorsplan was a fantastic event. Thousands visited the heart of Hafnarfjörður and enjoyed the moment together.
The opening weekend of the Christmas Village on Thorsplan was a fantastic celebration. Thousands visited the heart of Hafnarfjörður and enjoyed the moment together. Grýla, Stekkjastaur, and Bjúgnakrækir wandered around the area causing mischief.
The men’s choir Þrestir sang, and the Hafnarfjörður Brass Band played Christmas tunes. Sylvía Melsted and Árni Beinteinn led the event and the ceremony when the Cuxhaven Christmas tree, a gift from our twin town, was lit for the 37th time.
Hjartasvellið was filled with children all weekend, and the atmosphere was lively at Barbara before and after the show Freyðijól at Bæjarbíó. Yes, the town was buzzing with life.
Next weekend will also be exciting. We can allow ourselves to look forward to it.
