Home to the largest Icelandic population outside of Iceland, the lakeside town of Gimli celebrates this rich heritage at this annual event. A sandcastle contest, demonstrations of Viking warfare tactics, and rows of artisan booths exhilarate the town and pay homage to its history.
Launched in 1967 as part of Canada’s Centennial Celebration, this historic three-day festival attracts crowds with street performers, handmade goods, and one of Manitoba’s largest parades. The family-friendly festival lives up to its name and offers free corn on the cob and cool apple juice to attendees.
