Bonfire and Fireworks Show on New Year's Eve in Reykjavik
On the Bonfire & Fireworks tour, we’ll experience two Icelandic New Year’s Eve traditions.
We’ll begin with a Nordic bonfire, a tradition dating back to the Viking Age.
The family-friendly atmosphere and the fire will warm us up as we sing along together, bid farewell to the old year and prepare to welcome in the new.
As midnight draws near we’ll find a good spot to enjoy the second tradition—a fireworks display like no other.
In Iceland, everyone sets off fireworks at midnight all over the city, and when we say everyone, we mean everyone. We’re not talking sparklers, we’re talking real, dazzling fireworks.
From a carefully selected vantage point, we’ll get a view of the colourful explosions erupting all over the city, with a glass of sparkling delight in hand.
- Warm your body and soul around a tremendous bonfire
- Sing, dance and celebrate with the locals
- Watch a spectacular fireworks show
- Enjoy a glass of cheer as we count down the last moments of the year
