Events in Winnipeg: January 6 – 8, 2017

1. December Holiday Break

 Fun, activities and learning are on our calendar for Winter Break. In fact, there will be a sleigh’s worth of fun for the whole family at the Aviation Museum! Our favourite holiday aeronautical super flyer – the reindeer – will make an appearance at the craft activity station where we’re making Reindeer Boomerangs. We’ll have a dress-up station stocked with vintage aviation uniforms and don’t forget to drop by Skyways – our interactive kids play zone.

2. MunschBusters!

Another holiday season, another high-energy, madcap presentation of the stories of Robert Munsch by Prairie Theatre Exchange. This year, get ready for tons of surprises, with lots of high-octane energy and loads of laughs. You’ll see much-loved classic Munsch stories, including Alligator Baby, The Dark, Mud Puddle, Good Families Don’t and The Boy in the Drawer — all presented with the larger-than-life, kid-friendly entertainment our young audiences have come to expect.

1. Weekday Concerts

1. Melissa Etheridge on Wednesday, January 4, 2017 | 8:00 PM @ Burton Cumming’s Theatre. Details

2. Madchild with Battleaxe Warriors

Since the release of his debut solo album “Dope Sick”, Madchild has refused to rest. After many years of success with Swollen Members, Madchild branched out creatively to become a solo artist and was rewarded with the highest chart position of his career as “Dope Sick” debuted at #3 on the Canadian Billboard Top 200 and #7 on the US Heatseekers chart.

3.  Women in Blues

If Keith Richards, Joan Jett and Ray Charles could somehow spawn a love child, it’d be Romi Mayes (suitably pronounced RAW-ME). Hailing from Winnipeg, Canada, and renowned as one of the hardest working independent musicians touring the globe today, Mayes has chipped away at the rock and roll stone over the past couple of decades. Details
