Gimli is located on the western shore of Lake Winnipeg, about 75 kilometers north of Winnipeg. Originally founded by Icelandic settlers in the late 1800's, this town is celebrated for its vast array of unique cultural events such as the Gimli Film Festival, and Íslendingadagurinn - the Icelandic Festival of Manitoba.

  • lol helvítis fávitar xD

  • oh man, I never knew this place existed until I was researching some history, I was tryina find out how I was related to this nice woman I knew as a kid that later on moved to Portland, Oregon, but her dad came to Gimli, Manitoba before he later on moved to the US, anyway this place seems like a very cosy place to live and be, I will mos def visit Gimli sometime in the future or even move there :)

  • Best Festival Ever!!!! Everybody's Freindly, Frisnok is awesome, and Vikings live there during the festival. You cant go wrong!

  • Gimli is awesome! I love it there. Nice people and a pretty town. I will visit again soon.

  • Eins og hægt er að seigja. Þetta er frábær hátíð og ég vill rosalega mikið fara þángað. Ég ætla hugsanlega að fara á Íslendingadaganna þegar ég klára skólanum.

    What I would like to say is. This festival is real awesome and I my self who is an Icelander that lives in Iceland would really much want to go there someday. Ill plan to go sometime after I finish college. XÞ

  • This is awesome!!! I haven't missed a festival in 22 years and I probably never will!

  • Gimli rocks winter and summer but more so in the summer when trying to clear the fields.

  • Gimli is a character of 'The Lord of the Rings', too.

    He likes an axe.

    :D XD
