Fjölskylduhátíð í Elliðaárdal

Elliðaárdalur is full of life and new adventures that change from day to day. City residents and visitors alike will discover new sides to this magnificent place as Reykjavík Arts Festival and Elliðaárstöð host a family festival in Elliðaárdalur on Sat-urday 6 June.

Artists will fill the area with magic and deepen our connection with nature through happenings and events. Circus artists from Hringleikur will present their captivating and ever-evolving performances. The musical group Silfá invites curious listeners of all ages to join them on a walk along the forest paths of the valley and by the river, listening to birdsong and the murmur of water in harmony with viola, piano, and vocals.

The result is a unique concert where music and the sounds of summer merge into one. In the visitor centre at Elliðaárstöð, guests will have the opportunity to take part in the dance experience How Can We Break This Circle? The dance duo Project HOFIE invites the audience to reflect, slow down and enjoy their creative work, and at the same time create in the moment by drawing and painting their own pictures.
