The Rite of Spring Festival in Reykjavik
Reykjavik Celebrating the Spring

By Terri Mapes, About.com

The Rite of Spring Festival in the Icelandic capital Reykjavik is a relatively new annual May event which is already quite popular among travels and Reykjavik locals.

The Reykjavik Rite of Spring is Iceland's first world music festival and combines music stars from Iceland with big names from other countries. Jazz, folk, salsa and world music with an interesting Icelandic flavor.

This festival in May provides visitors with lots of musical entertainment - and the location is great: Reykjavik also offers a vibrant art scene and non-stop nightlife (see Nightlife in Reykjavik.) You can see the latest program and event details at the Reykjavik Rite of Spring Website
