Crowds gathering for a festival in Reykjavik's city centreMany traditional events, important festivals and seasonal activities take place each year in Reykjavik and play an integral part in preserving its rich heritage, offering endless things to see and do. Each February, Bolludagur (Bun Day) is a particular favourite with the Icelandic locals and is in keeping with their love of food and drink.

Lovers of the theatre will enjoy a trip to one of the regular shows at the Icelandic Opera House (Islenska Óperan), the Reykjavik City Theatre (Borgarleikhusid) and also the National Theatre of Iceland, which is located on the Lindargata. Festival goers should look out for the Independence Day each June, the Reykholt Music Festival in July, and the Menningarnótt (Culture Night), which has become known for its carnival atmosphere, street entertainment and dazzling fireworks.
