Events calendar Northeast

Located in the north of the country, the volcanic lake Mývatn is appreciated by tourists... but also by sportsmen with this great annual event. Every year, the shores of the eponymous lake welcome sportsmen and women for either a 10 km, a half-marathon or a marathon. Thus, all levels are welcome to enjoy this unique event! The terrain is flat and paved, so it would be a shame to miss out on a great opportunity to indulge in your favourite sport in such a wonderful setting. Good to know: the price includes access to the Mývatn baths.

The Listasumar is an eclectic arts festival that takes place in Akureyri every year; it lasts two months and includes concerts, exhibitions, dance, theatre, literature... It is an opportunity to discover Iceland's vibrant art scene and meet locals in an entertaining setting.

It takes place in July, so it is likely to interest you if you are planning a visit to northern Iceland in the summer. You will also be able to enjoy the long days and midnight sunshine of Iceland.
