The world’s second-largest Icelandic population calls Manitoba home and every summer, thousands gather in Gimli to celebrate in an Icelandic festival known as Islendingadagurinn.
This year crowds are expected to reach about 50,000 people.
Chris Brown, the executive director of Islendingadagurinn, said 40,000 people had already dropped by on Saturday afternoon.
