Reykjavik Gay Pride has become one of the biggest festivals in Iceland, with almost one third of Icelanders showing up for the main event, the Saturday gay parade and outdoor concert. This year Reykjavik Gay Pride kicks off August 7th, and for six days Reykjavik becomes the world´s “queerest” capital (as well as the world´s northernmost one). The gay scene in Iceland is active, open, and the country as a whole is a gay-friendly destination.
Reykjavik’s Gay Pride is celebrated with lots of color and music – parades, theater shows, outdoor festivals, parties, and other performances can be enjoyed throughout the city of Reykjavik. Whether you visit Iceland’s biggest GLBT party by yourself, or with friends and family, let the Icelandic capital sweep you away with the celebrations.

Wednesday, August 8 – British comedian Zoe Lyons at 9 PM
