Heho! For its 55th year, the annual Western Canada’s largest winter festival celebrating francophone and Indigenous histories runs Feb. 16-25 , 2024.
The mild season brought snow and ice that are now melted which is the reason for the absence of the traditional snow sculptures.
Festival goers will be able to enjoy the traditional fiddling, jigging, beard growing and pea soup competitions, as well as family activities including historical interpretations, Fayt a la min workshops, and wood-carving demonstrations. New this year is an Indigenous art gallery featuring local Indigenous artists.
Over 150 artists perform at Festival du Voyageur every year. They also offer all sorts of entertainment for all sorts of festivalgoers.
The festival takes place at the Whittier Park in the St. Boniface neighbourhood.
