Catch a free movie on the beach for five straight nights at the upbeat Gimli Film Festival

Budget on the beach

by TYSON LOWRIE • June 2013

For budget-conscious travellers, it’s tough to beat free. As part of the Gimli Film Festival, Rogers Cinema Under the Stars is screening movies for free every night on the beach July 25 to 29 in the Manitoban town, a little over an hour north of Winnipeg. For this popular annual event, they’ll be setting up a giant, 11-metre screen and you’re allowed to bring your own snacks and refreshments, making this a deal so good even the mosquitoes will be impressed. gimlifilm.com.
