Mission

Our mission is to promote and celebrate our Icelandic traditions and heritage. We do this mainly through our much anticipated annual events (June 17th Independence Day Picnic, Þorrablót, Jólabazaar, Children’s Christmas Party, and Annual Meeting) but are open to other ideas.

History

The Icelandic Association of Washington, DC held its first meeting on October 9,1969. We welcome all: native Icelanders, American/Icelanders, and those who just love all things Icelandic!
