Dyke Nite Reykjavík is a queer nightlife event created to bring lesbians and queer women together in a welcoming space where they can connect, dance, celebrate their identities, and feel a sense of community.
The idea behind Dyke Nite is simple: creating a space where queer people can meet, make connections, enjoy music, and celebrate who they are. Reykjavík has a vibrant queer community, and the founder wanted to contribute to its nightlife by creating events that put lesbians and queer women at the centre.
Each event brings its own energy, with DJs, dancing, special performances, themed nights, and plenty of queer joy. The organisers want people to feel welcome whether they come with friends or arrive on their own.
Dyke Nite is about more than just a party. It's about visibility, belonging, and creating spaces where people can express themselves freely and meet others in the community.
The sixth edition is a Halloween night at 22 Bar on Laugavegur. Come in costume: there are special performances, Dyke Nite drinks at the bar, and at half past eleven the crowd picks the Dyke of the Nite. The costume plays a big part in that vote, but it is not the only thing that counts.
