About This Event
The Kjötsúpuhátíð began in 2006 as a one-day autumn market with home-cooked lamb soup and has grown into a five-day town festival. The best-known part is the soup stroll, in which residents serve their own soup at home or on the street, while each neighbourhood decorates its streets in its own colour. There are concerts, a hillside singalong, fireworks and a dance, and a soup competition was added in 2026. Most events are free.
