THE ANNUAL GIMLI, ICELANDIC CELEBRATIONS


In the area around the local fishing village of Gimli, and all the way up and down the western shore or Lake Winnipeg, we all look forward to the ISLENDINGADAGURINN. 

 




It is an annual celebration of the Icelandic heritage of the area. And a grand excuse for a party.  And party we do.  
Below is the year, we decorated Thunderbird as a Viking ship.  
 


We won first prize too!



It is held every year on the first weekend in August.  It is a long weekend, and always a great weekend.   


WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.
