Events Description

 
Join us August long weekend in Gimli, Manitoba, for an annual festival celebrating Icelandic culture and heritage.

“Celebrating a Century of the Fjallkona / Fögnum Heilli Öld Af Fjallkonunni”

In 2024 we celebrate the 100th festival Fjallkona, the female incarnation of Iceland that presides over Íslendingadagurinn.
The design concept is a modern adaptation of the 19th century Watercolour of the Lady of the Mountain, 1864, by Johann Baptist Zwecker reimagined.

Icelanders are famous for sagas and storytelling – a key component to our cultural history and sharing the past with the present.
It is incumbent on all of us to share our sagas and stories to engage and draw future generations in to our rich cultural history and strong Icelandic connection.
