Iceland Eclipse Festival: From August 12–15th 2026, some of the greatest minds in music, arts, science, and wellness will come together for a four-day celebration of human connection and celestial wonder in the path of the solar eclipse in Hellissandur, Iceland.

While most events build toward a celestial moment, Iceland Eclipse begins with it. On August 12th at 17:45 UTC, totality will sweep across the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, bringing over two full minutes of darkness - one of the longest eclipse totalities in the world, thanks to our position at the westernmost edge of Iceland. This once-in-a-lifetime eclipse won’t return to Iceland until 2196, and it sets the stage for four days of magic and exploration; connecting through music, ceremony, storytelling, and inspiring experiences in a land of mythic beauty.
