Siglufjörður Comics Festival is Iceland's first-ever comics festival, now in its third year. It is an annual, three-day celebration of comics that takes place in the fishing town of Siglufjörður, named by some as the birthplace of Icelandic comics for good reason. It was here that the pioneering publishing house Siglufjarðarprentsmiðja made history in the 1930s as the first to publish comics in Icelandic, igniting a passion for comics that continues to thrive today all over Iceland.
Held across multiple locations in town, Siglufjörður Comics Festival showcases the Icelandic comics scene and welcomes international artists at its Artists' Alley. We also provide comics education through workshops, lectures, and exhibitions. Moreover, we like to have fun! That's why we make sure to hold banger social events that make festival nights come to life!
We look forward to welcoming you to probably the northernmost comics festival in the world!
