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.
Another year and always Folklorama delivers the goods with food and entertainment. This years first week concluded and I will put up various pictures. China presented a good show inside and outside their cultural centre on King Street downtown. Beautiful dancing and costumes as well as food are hallmarks of the show.
This year also featured Kung Fu performed for the audience.
