Icelanders flock to campsites all around the country to enjoy numerous outdoor festivals featuring live music and fireworks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s Merchant\u2019s Weekend takes place from August 2nd to 5th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For travelers<\/gwmw> staying in town, you can attend the music festival Innip\u00fakinn,<\/a> <\/em>which features live music and an outdoor market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that one can expect most stores to be closed on Monday, however, in Reykjav\u00edk, many bars and restaurants will still be open for business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
