The annual National Festival, known as Þjóðhátíð, began on the Westman Islands (Vestmannaeyjar) with an unusually quiet start according to local law enforcement. Despite the presence of large crowds gathered for the event, authorities reported very few incidents during the initial phase of the celebration.
The most notable emergency response during this period involved the Icelandic Coast Guard. The festival, a significant cultural event in Iceland, continues to draw substantial attendance to the islands.
