 Örlygur Hnefill ráðinn verkefnastjóri Húsavíkurstofu

Nýir leiðarvísar fyrir ferðafólk um hvað má og hvað má ekki

Vinnudagur með Húsavíkurstofu og AECO fimmtudaginn 3. mars

The people of Húsavík in North Iceland are ready for the Oscars 2021. On Monday, the only Óskar in town declared the red carpet on Húsavík's main street formally open. Cutting a ribbon along with the mayor of Húsavík, the local girls' choir was also present, among others. The choir had participated in recording a video where Molly Sandén performed the song Husavik, which is nominated for an Academy Award this year. Due to unusual circumstances, Sandén could not perform the song on stage at the Oscars as planned. Instead, she went to Húsavík to record a music video with the locals. The video will be premiered at the award ceremony, increasing the anticipation of the locals for this years Oscars, who are already hopeful that the song named after their hometown will win the Oscar and bring attention to this small town that is known as the primary location in Iceland for whale watching.

Óskar Óskarsson is back! The song “Husavik” was nominated for the best original song in the 93rd Academy Awards. The ceremony will be held 25th of April and we can’t wait. Nobody is happier than Óskar Óskarsson, as he might welcome another Óskar to Húsavík. After many days of celebrating the Oscar nomination, he is back with a new video. The new campaign follows Óskar and Olaf Yohansson on the Oscar night itself. Olaf (Jaja DingDong guy) is willing to do absolutely anything to see his favorite tune Jaja Dingdong win instead of local’s favorite Husavik. Olaf might have tricks up his sleeve – check out how it pans out in the video below

An Óskar for Húsavík! - Help us get an Oscar nomination.

Nine category shortlist for the 93rd Academy Awards was published yesterday. Among them is the category for best original song. One hundred five songs were eligible in the category and now the shortlist has been cut down to only fifteen songs fighting for an Oscar nomination.

What can we say about 2020? There is no simple way to sum it up, it certainly had its ups and downs for our community in Northeastern Iceland.

After spending the day in Husavik, where we decided to take a rocky boat ride out to get a glimpse of a series of Humpback whales, we knew we had to rejuvenate in the highly recommended Geosea Spa.
