Taste of Iceland Nashville

Taste of Iceland arrives in Nashville for the first time on Thursday, June 26 through Saturday, June 28. The cultural festival celebrates Iceland with events across the city showcasing the best of Icelandic culture, including food, music, nature, comedy, and more. Most events are free and open to the public, including an Icelandic comedy performance, a northern lights film, and a concert featuring two of Iceland’s most exciting performers.

Event tickets are required, and guests are encouraged to arrive promptly to guarantee entry. Tickets are available on the Taste of Iceland Nashville website.

Taste of Iceland events include:

Iceland Airwaves Off-Venue: On June 26, a free concert hosted by Iceland Airwaves will feature shows by Icelandic musicians superserious and Arny Margret, with DJ Hermigervill spinning Icelandic tunes between sets. Indie band, superserious, is known for their energetic live shows, infectious enthusiasm, and catchy alt-rock sound—their bright, retro-tinged beats are impossible not to dance to. Folk singer-songwriter, Árný Margrét, pairs heartfelt lyrics with minimal instrumentation—her intimate voice is powerful and wide-ranging at just the right moments. Icelandic music icon, DJ Hermigervill, is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, composer, and DJ, who has worked with many notable Icelandic artists, produced several Icelandic number-one hits, and released innumerable records under various guises. Doors open at 7:00 PM at Cannery Hall.

Icelandic Supper Club: Join Chef Hafliði Halldórsson for a culinary adventure from Iceland, where he will prepare and demonstrate a feast using Iceland’s finest ingredients, including wild Icelandic seafood, Icelandic lamb, and skyr. June 26 from 7:00 - 10:00 PM at Nelson's Green Brier Distillery.

Icelandia Presents: Northern Lights Show: Narrated by the goddess of dawn, Áróra is an immersive film that combines science, art, and ancient storytelling to explore one of Iceland's most iconic natural wonders: the aurora borealis. The audience will go on an unforgettable journey through Icelandic skies and deep into space to learn where the northern lights come from, how they form, and how they've inspired legends for centuries. The film will be shown June 28 at the top of the hour from 12:00 - 2:00 PM in the Sudekum Planetarium at the Adventure Science Center.

Iceland: Unfiltered & Distilled: On June 28, at this one-night-only comedy event, comedians and storytellers, Ragnar Ísleifur and Bergur Ebbi, will share hilarious personal stories, wildly unqualified advice, and a roast of what tourists get wrong…every single time. Expect laughter and at least five conversation-starters for your next dinner party. Spoiler: You've definitely been pronouncing Reykjavík wrong. As a bonus, Iceland Hotel Collection by BERJAYA is treating guests to complimentary cocktails. 5:00 - 7:00 PM at Nelson's Green Brier Distillery.

Wheel of Prizes Presented by Icelandair: A trip for two to Iceland is among the prizes that select Taste of Iceland festival attendees can win during Iceland Airwaves Off-Venue on June 26 and Iceland: Unfiltered & Distilled on June 28.
