The multi-faceted Icelandic Festival of Canada includes everything from fairground rides to a sand castle contest.

Music, poetry and music concerts are also on the agenda of a fun-filled fiesta with an Arctic Circle flavour. For the active, there are several road runs to join in, while more passive demands can be satisfied at the pancake breakfasts. A fine arts show and traditional shows, a street parade, fireworks display and a folk festival complete a packed programme of events.
