Fiskidagurinn Mikli
If you can’t read Icelandic, that means “Big Fish Day” — a fish festival held each summer in the north Icelandic town of Dalvik (population: 1500).
Fiskidaguriin Mikli will be held August 11 and 12, 2012. On Friday evening local families place torches outside their homes, a signal that anyone is welcome to stop by for fish soup. And on Saturday afternoon, there’s a huge “cook-up” of cod, salmon and haddock.
It takes place on the weekend after the Iceland Labor Day holiday known as verrslunnarmannahelgi, usually the second weekend in August.
