In the north part of Iceland, a small fishing village with lots of history resides. It's called Siglufjörður and will be the host to a 5-day Icelandic Folk Music Festival.
All kinds of events relating to Icelandic Folk Music will be held during the festival: variety of concerts where folk music is played in traditional, classical and jazzy verson and not just Icelandic folk music but also from other countries and other kinds of music. Those who wish can also study Icelandic Folk dances and handcraft.
Much more will be going on but the festival's

Valló which rents outs apartmens and houses.
