We are excited to reveal the theme for our 133rd Islendingadgaurinn

"Spirit of Iceland / Andi Íslands"

2022 Festival Dates: July 29, 30, 31 and August 1

Join us in Gimli, Manitoba and online for in-person, online and hybrid events. 

The theme for this year’s festival is inspired by the Northern Lights. This incredible phenomenon is prevalent in both Iceland and New Iceland, painting our shared skies with rich and vibrant colours.

Icelandic culture celebrates and honors the magical and supernatural. In Indigenous culture the Aurora Borealis are believed to be the spirits of ancestors and those who have passed.

Just as the mysterious lights connect us to Iceland and illuminate the dark night, Íslendingadagurinn is an occasion to celebrate Icelandic culture and heritage and joyously gather after many months apart.

Thank you to our wonderful design partner and sponsor Honest Agency
