🇮🇸 June 17th is Iceland’s Independence Day — Þjóðhátíðardagurinn 🇮🇸
Today Iceland celebrates becoming an independent republic in 1944 and honors Jón Sigurðsson, the leader of Iceland’s independence movement, who was born on June 17th. However, the Park is open.
Across the country you’ll find parades, music, speeches, Icelandic flags waving proudly, and communities coming together to celebrate Icelandic culture, history, and freedom.
Gleðilegan þjóðhátíðardag! Happy Independence Day, Iceland! 💙❤️🤍
