CULTURAL
MOSAIC
Held in Winnipeg each August since 1969, Folklorama is North
America's largest and longest-running multicultural festival,
featuring pavilions celebrating 40-plus ethnic cultures. Scouts
from Walt Disney World come to Folklorama regularly to book
entertainment for Epcot Center Performances. The World
Tourism Organization voted Folklorama the festival that best
depicts Canadian culture. *
Aboriginal Peoples

The largest collection of
Ukrainian-language books

Centre in Winnipeg.
Winnipeg has the highest per
capita population of Filipinos
living outside the Philippines,
which motivated the Philippines'
popular fast food chain Jollibee
to open its first franchise in
Canada here in 2016.
