This Weekend: Gunni Helga, Sveinki, Húbbabúbba, and Svala will be there

More than fifty thousand people have now stepped onto Thorsplan and enjoyed the Christmas Village with us. Now the sixth and final weekend of our village begins, and we are lucky, because it will be open on Þorláksmessa. That means we get an extra day.

There is much to enjoy this final weekend. Gunni and Felix entertain, the Youth Theatre takes the stage, and we present awards to the most Christmassy homes and businesses in town.

Yes, everything is just as it should be. We look forward to enjoying this final weekend with all of you.
