Fjellborg Vikings

Gimili Icelandic Festival, of Manitoba, Canada, or Islendingadagurinn. July, August, 2011

Gimili Viking Village

Fjellborg Vikings members, Lodin, Brice and Afi Brice attended the Gimili Icelandic Festival, of Manitoba, Canada, the second oldest continuous ethnic festival in North America. The Viking Village is the largest gathering of Viking age reenactors on the North American continent and growing every year. Reenactors of all affiliations are welcome with the organizer's desire to uphold reenactor standards typical of other historical period presentations.
Within the event, members of Vikings Vinland also held their annual Althing, (Community/members meeting.) and group leaders meeting. There, GL's and members discussed the events past and layed out future plans for the North American Felag of Vikings-Vinland.

Newspaper clippings from the event can be found here.
The first five pictures below, were provided by Leif Norman and his Islendingadagurinn Icelandic Festival pictures can be found here.
