A great atmosphere at Food and Culture 2026
The Food and Culture festival took place at Efling’s community centre on Sunday, September 27, for the fourth time.
Efling members invited guests to discover the food traditions of their home countries.
A wide variety of dishes prepared by members gave guests the chance to travel around the world through food. These included Filipino-style whole roast pig, Vietnamese spring rolls, Honduran seafood soup and many other dishes.
The festival was well attended, with a lively and welcoming atmosphere as Efling members, their families and guests came together to taste food from different countries and learn about the cultures represented within Efling.
Efling was honoured to welcome the President of Iceland, Halla Tómasdóttir, and her husband, Björn Skúlason. Food and Culture celebrates the rich diversity of Efling’s membership, and their visit was a valuable opportunity for members to share their cultures, traditions and cuisine with the presidential couple.

“Our festival was a tremendous success, and we were especially pleased to welcome the President of Iceland to our community centre, chat with her and see her interest in our union and its members,” said Sólveig Anna Jónsdóttir, chair of Efling.
