TIPS FROM AN ISLANDER

Grækarismessa: On the 12th our National bird, Tjaldrið (Oyster Catcher), returns. This event is called ‘Grækarismessa’ and we celebrate in the capital with music, gatherings, and food - a true Faroese Fiesta! We welcome this annual visitor with open arms, grateful for the promise of spring it brings.
March and the Tjaldrið's arrival signifies the imminent spring, filling us with hope for the approaching warmer seasons. As the bird makes its characteristic "klipp, klipp" sound, the community is reminded that brighter days are ahead. So when you pass a local, make eye contact, nod and mutter a semi-silent “Dagin” (Good-day).
Capture the bloom: March marks the beginning of blossoms. Grab your camera and capture the vibrant colours emerging across the Faroese landscapes.
Mingle at Local Pub Quizzes, Bingos or even Karaoke: Engage with friendly Faroese locals and showcase your talents.
