Winnipeg’s annual 10-day winter festival, Le Festival du Voyageur (Festival of the Traveller), will kick off today and take place from February 13 – 22, 2015.
This will be the 46th edition of Festival du Voyageur and this years slogan is “The World’s Largest Kitchen Party”.
Every winter since 1970, Saint-Boniface, Winnipeg’s French quarter, is transformed into a winter paradise and becomes host to the largest winter festival in Western Canada. Voyageur, Métis and First Nations histories are brought back to life, not only through the historical interpretation offered inside reconstructed Fort Gibraltar, but also through the many attractions inside Voyageur Park and at the festival’s various official sites. Music of old, traditional cuisine, sensational snow sculptures and captivating shows are but a few examples of the entertainment you can expect to witness during this convivial gathering. Offering a vast array of historical, recreational and educational activities, Festival du Voyageur has something for all tastes and all ages!
