Festival organizer reports that campsites in Akureyri are nearing full capacity due to the event.

The city of Akureyri in Iceland is buzzing with anticipation as the Verslunarmannahelgi (Traders' Weekend) approaches, bringing with it the Ein með öllu and Oll i einu festivals. From July 31 to August 3, these events promise a diverse range of activities, with free admission to Ein með öllu [1].

While the exact details about the main attractions for 2025's Ein með öllu are not explicitly available, the festival is highlighted as a major event on RÚV English Radio, suggesting a significant musical or cultural program featuring popular acts [2][4]. The Sparitónleikar (Fancy Concert) is one such event, scheduled for Sunday evening during the weekend. Performers for this concert include Herra Hnetusmjör, Friðrik Dór, Kristmund Axel, and Aron Can [1].

Meanwhile, the Oll i einu concert, a separate event, is scheduled for Saturday night at Akureyrarvöllur stadium. The lineup for this concert includes Friðrik Dór, Emmsjé Gauti, Birnir, GDRN, Páll Óskar, and Á móti sól [3]. It's important to note that Oll i einu concerts require a separate ticket from the Ein með öllu program [5].

Apart from the concerts, both festivals offer a variety of other attractions. Akureyri will have food trucks and two amusement parks during the weekend [6]. Additionally, the bake sale Mömmur og möffins is returning during the weekend [7].

The campsites for the weekend event in Akureyri are nearly full, indicating a high turnout for these festivals [8]. Halldór Kristinn Harðarson, the organizer of the Ein með öllu festival, expresses happiness about the good weather during the event [9].

Photographer Hilmar Friðjónsson captured the events in Kjarnaskógur during the Ein með öllu festival [10]. As the weekend draws near, Akureyri is gearing up for an exciting few days filled with music, food, and fun. For the most up-to-date and detailed lineup, checking the festival’s official websites or local event guides closer to the dates would be recommended.
