You can’t a-fjord to miss this. Taste of Iceland, a festival that brings Icelandic traditions and culture to cities across the U.S., adds an exciting lineup of special events for locals from April 7 — 11.

From photo exhibits (complete with artist fire-side chats) to culinary exploration and cocktail classes to author-led book talks to film screenings, each activation is inspired by, and in celebration of, the best of Icelandic culture through food and beverage, music, literature, films, art, and more. There’s even a soothing elemental sound bath, with Icelandic snacks to follow.

Throughout the five-day festival, events will be hosted at various locations throughout Boston, including the Cheeky Monkey, Alibi, Trident Bookseller & Cafe, the SoWa Power Station, Brattle Theater and the Wicked Queer Film Festival, Down Under Yoga, and Royale. Icelandair’s Wheel of Prizes is spun every day for chances to win a trip to Iceland or luxury items from some of Iceland’s best brands, and the festival concludes at Royale with Reykjavik Calling Concert — a live concert with Bríet, Axel Flóvent, and DJ Hermigervill.

Most events are free to the public and follow a first-come, first-serve policy with limited capacity. Registration for each event is highly recommended.
