Childrens Choir Festival Reykjavik in Reykjavík

Recent editions have been hosted at Hallgrimskirkja, with free entry until the venue fills.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The event is tied to a specific Icelandic calendar holiday, the First Day of Summer under the old Norse reckoning, rather than a fixed Gregorian date, giving it a distinctly Icelandic temporal anchor

02

The mystery stays covered

Its free, first-come seating and community audience of families rather than tourists make it a genuine local cultural event rather than a staged showcase

03

The city starts moving

Because it draws performers rather than paying spectators as its main constituency, the event prioritizes stage time for as many choirs as possible over production polish

Traditions & symbols

The language of the festival.

What moves first

Living ritual

first-come entry and a rotating lineup of children's choirs from around Iceland performing together are the event's consistent yearly format
