Manitoba Festivals in September
MEME is normally a big hit around here. Last year was pretty good if you ask me.. of course as the owner of a dj company I’m really into the music scene around Winnipeg, I think we do a great job of putting up music events. There’s a lot to choose from, wide variety for all different tastes. Summer of Sound another solid festival and then the obvious Classic Rock Fest is huge for the older generation. All super great experiences!
Seven events that I can participate in around Winnipeg, and can I buy a table to display my books?
I’m looking for dates for the Reggae/Socca festival that is typically held in August in old Market square? it is possible that I do not have the exact name and that is why my search is unproductive!
