Access Winnipeg has been out and about covering the two week festival of Folklorama. It is the largest cultural gathering in North America and a top tourist attraction.
We got to see Zorba’s Dance and a Greek wedding as the Greek pavilion showed just how to party.
More picture and more pavilions to come!
