Blueberry days in Súðavík
At this time, at the end of August and beginning of September, the peak of blueberry collecting in Iceland has been reached.
A particularly great blueberry region, for example, is the area around Súðavík in the Icelandic Westfjords. Súðavík is a small town on Álftafjörður (= "Swan Fjord"), an extension of the Ísafjarðardjúp. For several years now, the "bláberjadagar", the "Blueberry Days", has been taking place here every summer towards the end of August - a big festival all about blueberries.

This year, the Blueberry Days will take place from August 30th to September 2nd, 2018 (Thursday to Sunday), with many different activities for the entire family, from sporting events to barbecue evenings, music by the fire in the evenings or a cinema for the children, plus of course a shared event Blueberry picking.
In keeping with the season, I'll introduce you to a few of my favorite blueberry recipes on Facebook in the next few days!
