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.
The UK pavilion delivers a dance opus to the four regions of the U.K.: England, Wales. Northern Ireland and Scotland. Great costumes, dancing and live music are what you can expect.
Food is always a must at UK pavilion so people should check out cottage pie and their beer.
The culture part allowed you to have pics taken with a Buckingham palace guard or with Harry Potter!
