On the actual anniversary, the Salvation Army will be present in the pedestrian street in Tórshavn from 1 PM to 4 PM. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in conversation, enjoy freshly baked waffles and coffee, and listen to brass music.

As part of the centennial celebrations, a new hymnbook will be released. This book includes 660 songs with Faroese lyrics, sheet music, and chords. The hymnbook will be officially presented on Friday, according to the Salvation Army.
