Episode 652 - GRÍMSÆVINTÝRIN Á BORG

It's not only Culture Night this weekend - the south Iceland town of Borg í Grímsnesi also enjoys its annual festival tomorrow.

Grímsævintýrin á Borg (https://www.facebook.com/events/569766539563853) is the festival of the Grímsnes Women’s Association (Kvenfélag Grímsneshrepps). This long-standing festival has brought joy to locals and visitors for decades – and the famous Tombóla (Grand Raffle), dating back to 1926, is still going strong!

Darren met Sandra Gunnarsdóttir, chair of Kvenfélag Grímsneshrepps, in Borg, to hear more.
