Festival organizer reports campsites nearing occupation capacity in Akureyri
The vibrant city of Akureyri, Iceland, is gearing up for an unforgettable Merchant's Weekend. Known for its unique blend of culture, music, and community spirit, the weekend promises to be a festive celebration not to be missed.
At the heart of the festivities are the "Ein með öllu" and "Öll í einu" concerts, key events during the Merchant's Weekend. These concerts, typically held in central Akureyri, offer a diverse lineup of Icelandic musicians and bands, showcasing a mix of genres and popular local talent.
This year, performers at the "Oll i einu" concerts include Friðrik Dór, Emmsjé Gauti, Birnir, GDRN, Páll Óskar, and Á móti sól. The "Ein með öllu" concert, on the other hand, will feature a mix of well-known Icelandic acts and emerging performers, such as Ásgeir, Retro Stefson, Hjaltalín, FM Belfast, and local up-and-coming bands and solo artists from the Akureyri region.
The concerts will take place in Kjarnaskógur during the Ein með öllu festival. The area will transform into a lively hub, with food trucks, two amusement parks, and a bake sale, Mömmur og möffins, adding to the festive atmosphere.
A second major concert, titled "Oll i einu," is scheduled for Saturday night at Akureyrarvöllur stadium. It's important to note that the "Oll i einu" concerts are separate from the "Ein með öllu" program and require a separate ticket.
Organizer Halldór Kristinn Harðarson expressed his satisfaction with the weather for the upcoming weekend, ensuring that attendees can enjoy the music, dancing, and local food and drink stalls to their fullest. He encourages everyone to come, have fun, and be kind to others during the Merchant's Weekend.
