TD Mainstage at Old Market Square
Each year, our free program at Old Market Square attracts thousands of attendees from across the province. At the heart of it all is The Cube – a vibrant, open-air hub where the city comes together for an unforgettable celebration of live music. Night after night, audiences gather to experience an eclectic lineup of local, national, and international artists, transforming downtown Winnipeg into a high-energy, community centred party. As the largest free music event in the city, it’s a cornerstone of the festival – welcoming everyone to discover something new, dance in the square, and be part of the sound of summer.
