SPRING TO FALL
In downtown's historic Exchange District live music permeates from the Cube Stage in Old Market
Square, as the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival or the TD Winnipeg International Jazz Festival are
a constant accompaniment to our sunny summers. www.winnipegfringe.com www.jazzwinnipeg.com
The Summer Music Series at Assiniboine Park always provides top-notch entertainment, from jazz in
the stunning Leo Mol Sculpture Garden to performances by Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet, local folk
acts, and movie screenings at the Lyric Theatre. www.assiniboinepark.ca
Assiniboine Park's Leo Mol Sculpture Garden is stunning with its 200 bronze sculptures featuring
everything from the myths of antiquity, to scenes of pure Canadian. It's located across the park's lush,
sprawling English Garden, a tranquil setting that is free to explore with no pre-booking required.

WINTER
The Red River Mutual Trail is one of the world's longest naturally frozen river trails featuring picturesque
views of the city along with "warming huts" designed by some of the world's best architects — all of
whom have competed in an international competition to have their temporary structures on display.

Throughout winter Winnipeg shines with awe-inspiring public art pieces including massive, whimsical
snow sculptures that populate the city as part of Festival du Voyageur. www.heho.ca
Assiniboine Park also offers a free winter wonderland featuring skating on the charming duck pond and
countless winter trails for everything from snowshoeing to skiing. When you are looking for some respite
from the cold, the Assiniboine Park Conservatory provides a balmy oasis filled with tropical plants and
trees and over 8,000 species of flowers. www.assiniboinepark.ca/park-landing/home/explore
