FREE of Charge
All year long free tours are offered at the Manitoba Legislative Building, one of North America's most
unique neo-classical structures. It's a remarkable place, containing sculptures by the Piccirilli Brothers
(the famed sculptures who did the Lincoln Memorial) along with a host of Freemason symbols and
mythological creatures, including its pinnacle, the Golden Boy statue.
SUMMER
Along with providing a prime space for people watching, The Forks Market houses 50 unique

Right in the heart of the city is where you'll find Upper Fort Garry Provincial Park, which marks the
"birthplace of the province." Where once stood a circa 1837 stone and wood fort now sits a stylish park
studded with public art and garden paths. Learn about the fort using the app and in season, enjoy a
sound and light show. www.upperfortgarry.com
Just south of the city you can find Le Marché St. Norbert Farmers' Market, Winnipeg's largest and
most popular outdoor market featuring local producers and artisans who will entice you with their
wares. The market is open on Saturdays from June through October, and Wednesdays from July through
September. www.stnorbertfarmersmarket.ca
