If your looking to get a taste of Iceland, you have to go no further than Ballard in Seattle.

After taking a year off due to the pandemic, the Taste of Iceland is setting up shop this weekend at the National Nordic Museum.

This marks the 13th year for the event. As always, they come bearing the food, the drinks and the sounds of Icelandic culture with them.  And if you’re lucky, as one person was at a preview event last night, you could win a trip to Iceland.

The four-day fest runs through this weekend. Events are free but do require a reservation as space is limited.
