TOP HAPPENINGS

Here in the Faroe Islands, we believe in celebrating every season and occasionally in the middle of a storm. Join us for our biggest annual happenings—like G! Festival, Pride, the most beautiful Half Marathon, a Beer Festival and Ólavsøka where the weather won’t slow down the dancing, and wool is always in fashion. Expect lively crowds, unique customs, and possibly the best excuse you’ll ever have to try Faroese dancing (it’s harder than it looks).

"The Faroese have long fostered a scene characterised by collaboration, experimentation and an openness that feels entirely in line with its remoteness and beauty”

- Paul Bridgewater, The Line of Best Fit

Events on the Daily

The faroese might not shout about what’s going on. What's On does the shouting for us. Think of this as your cheat sheet to what’s actually happening.

Concerts, festivals, art shows, odd little happenings—you’ll find it all here, so you don’t spend your trip wondering if you just missed something.
