Together we bid farewell to Christmas and the year 2025 with dance and song at Thorsplani in the heart of Hafnarfjörður, where Christmas in Hafnarfjörður begins each year. The theatre group Lotta, with Skjóða, Langlegg, Grýla and Lúði, will take the stage at Thorsplani, set the mood, sing well-chosen songs and offer a taste of the very best. This year the celebration takes place in the Christmas Village at Thorsplani and the festivities begin promptly at 5:00 pm. The event concludes around 5:45 pm with a spectacular fireworks display organised by the Hafnarfjörður Search and Rescue Team in front of the Fjörður shopping centre.
Special attention is drawn to the fact that the fireworks display begins at 5:45 pm and will last for 5–10 minutes. Dog owners are encouraged to give their dogs extra hugs during this short time and to consider keeping them at home while the fireworks display is taking place.
The Municipality of Hafnarfjörður sincerely thanks everyone for the Christmas joy, the festive atmosphere and the participation in the Advent celebrations of 2025. The Christmas Village in Hafnarfjörður surpassed itself once again in attendance and Christmas cheer, and the Christmas town of Hafnarfjörður has rarely been more beautiful.
