Events Description

With the theme Finding our North Star, this year’s Canada Day at The Forks will conclude with a drone show finale that pairs ancestral celestial teachings with cutting-edge drone technology never before seen in Winnipeg.

The drone show entitled Acakos (ah-cha-kos), meaning “star” in Cree, has been curated around the teachings of Elder Wilfred Buck, a member of Opaskwayak Cree Nation. Buck is an internationally known star Knowledge Keeper.

Official programming begins at 12 pm and runs all day, culminating in the drone show at 10:30 pm.

Come and see us light up the sky with 100 drones 400 feet high! The best seats in the house will be at The Forks facing Esplanade Riel at 10:30 p.m. on the first of July! Acakos Drone Show will be the first of its kind in Winnipeg.

Visitors will find activities throughout The Forks 52-acre site: a Forks Market stage programmed in partnership with Manitoba Music, family activities at the CN Stage, workshops, tours, picnic tables, food trucks, and a huge soccer tournament
