February in Reykjavík rarely needs an excuse to get social, but this month the LGBTQIA+ calendar is doing the most.
Whether you want something steady and supportive, a weekly reason to belt out a power ballad, or a proper weekend-out moment with drag, comedy and late-night community energy, there’s plenty to plan around. From Ace & Aro cosy vibes to a sharp, dystopian theatre piece asking what happens when queer history gets erased, February is packed with ways to show up, connect, and keep the city’s queer scene loud, visible, and thriving.

Set in a distant future where the culture war is “over” and queer rights, gender self-determination, and women’s liberation have been erased, Skammarþríhyrningurinn follows a team preparing the opening of a museum about the “dark era” of political correctness. With books burned, sources vanished, and anything outside strict binary norms censored out of history, they try to reconstruct what was lost – including the basic question: what on earth was Pride?
Created by the theatre collective Stertabenda and directed by Gréta Kristín Ómarsdóttir.
Content notes: This show is in Icelandic. It is not suitable for under 16s. Contains references to sex and violence, hate speech, flashing lights, and harmless stage smoke.
