Cream Puff Day

The River Trail

Take in the picturesque sights of Winnipeg as you’ve never seen them before, from the frozen Red River! Venture out to The Forks to enjoy a variety of outdoor winter activities on the Guinness World Record-holding longest naturally frozen skating trail in the world.

Ed’s Garage at MTC

Take your seat and get ready to enjoy the “wry, witty, and wonderfully funny” Ed’s Garage at the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre (MTC)! Folks flock to Ed’s Garage for oil changes and sage advice. Everything’s running like a well-oiled machine until a psychotherapist sets up shop next door, throwing a wrench into the whole business.

The Dishwashers at PTE

Jan 24 to Feb 10 | Prairie Theatre Exchange
Enjoy an evening out at the PTE’s new play The Dishwashers – a comedy by Morris Panych that will make you laugh as you watch, and walk out a little changed in your outlook.

Have a wonderful weekend!
