Since its inception in 2015, this festival has celebrated the folk arts traditions of Iceland and beyond, spanning music, dance, spoken word, and art.
But still, the folk arts community in Iceland remains a small one.
Within the Vaka Folk Arts Festival, there’s always a key aspect of education.
Correcting this misconception has been a tenet of Vaka Folk Arts Festival from the start.
