It might be a well-known folk song that everyone participates in, or a specific dance with established choreography. The intent is to bring the participants together for a final shared experience before dispersing. It embodies a sense of community and shared celebration, marking a collective farewell to the event. The concept of the lokahópa highlights the importance of communal activities and the rhythmic conclusion of social gatherings in Icelandic culture.
