The Christmas lights on the Oslo tree will be lit on the first Sunday of Advent, 1. December, during a ceremony at Austurvöllur. The Oslo tree is a symbol of friendship between Oslo and Reykjavik. The Norwegians have brought a tree to Icelanders every year since 1951. Since 2018 it has been cut down in Heiðmörk instead of in Norwegian woods.
Reykjavíkur Brass Band will play Advent and Christmas songs from 15:30.
A band will perform beautiful Christmas songs with Salka Sól and Unnsteinn Manuel.
Santa Claus will also be in town and entertain the children.
The presenter of this event is actress Katla Margrét Þorgeirsdóttir, and the program will also be interpreted in sign language.

Happy holidays!
