A Taste of Iceland
Festival returns to Seattle for its third year
By Rob Smith September 20, 2024
Got a hankering for Icelandic cod or lamb loin? Perhaps a mushroom-filled pâté choux with Feykir cheese foam is more your thing.
Either way, you can get your Iceland on at Seattle’s annual Taste of Iceland Festival. The festival, which tours in a handful of cities across North America, makes its third stop in Seattle from Oct. 3-5.
Seattle and Reykjavik — Iceland’s capital and largest city — are sister cities, and Reykjavik Mayor Einar Þorsteinsson will be in Seattle to celebrate the special connection during the festival. The festival features an array of public events celebrating the land of fire and ice across Seattle, including food and beverage, music, comedy, literature, design, nature, and wellness.
