Celebrate Fisherman’s Day in Iceland – And Save 10% with MYCAR!
One of the most beloved national celebrations is Fisherman’s Day (Sjómannadagurinn), held every year on the first Sunday in June. It’s a heartfelt tribute to Iceland’s fishermen and the communities built around the ocean. And this year, MYCAR is getting in the spirit with an exclusive 10% OFF all vehicle rentals to honor the seafaring legacy that keeps Iceland moving forward.
🌊 What Is Fisherman’s Day?
Fisherman’s Day is a lot more than just a holiday—it lives on as a tradition. Since the 1930s, Iceland’s coastal towns have congregated to honor the courageous men and women who have derived their living from the sea. Look for parades, sea rescue demonstrations, boat shows and family-friendly festivals from Reykjavík to Ísafjörður.
You’ll see fishing boats that have been transformed into floats, children attempting to row and touching ceremonies to remember the lost at sea. They are a gorgeous, down-to-earth party with all the local flavor — something no traveler can afford to miss.
