Menningarnótt in Icelandic translates to “culture night” which is a festival in Reykjavik Iceland held every year in August to mark the end of summer. Events are held all around the city including music, art, and fun family-friendly activities. People even open their homes to the public to serve coffee and cakes! This is a fun time to just wander around the city and stop at anything that catches your eye. In true Icelandic fashion, a big fireworks display is lit off at the end of the night!
