Winnipeg's Folklorama: World's Largest Multi-cultural Event

From August 6 to 19, Winnipeg hosts the world's largest and longest running multicultural event.

From traditional home-cooked meals to electrifying nightly performances by local, national and international entertainers, Folklorama will create a feast for the senses as you experience 40-plus cultural pavilions. The event allows guests to sample exquisite cuisine and celebrate the culture and ethnic heritage of people from more than 60 countries (ranging from Africa to Metis to Cuba to the Ukraine) who have made Winnipeg their home. Each country has a certain location called a pavilion

According to festival organizers,"There is something for everyone at Folklorama! With free admission for children 12 and under, it is a popular event for families with young children.
