University of Winnipeg and downtown community newspaper
Join us for one of Manitoba’s favourite – and FREE – summer traditions! Ballet in the Park is a unique opportunity to enjoy the universal language of dance with family and friends under the prairies skies. It’s a slice of Winnipeg culture that rivals Nutcracker for nostalgia and fun.
Become part of our story this summer as the incredible talents from the Company, Professional Division, and Recreational Division gather in one place to deliver performances that highlight how the dancers within our walls continue Living the Dream.
What to Expect
Participate in engaging children’s activities before the performance like face painting, pointe shoe decorating, and a free Creative Movement class, plus you can enjoy a variety of tasty food truck offerings. This is an outdoor event, so dress appropriately and be mindful of sun protection. Ballet in the Park may run as scheduled rain or shine; if we need to cancel due to inclement weather we will announce this on all channels as soon as we make the call.
What to Bring
Lawn chairs, cushions, and/or blankets to sit on; snacks and water to keep you fueled and hydrated; and a desire to reconnect and enjoy live dance!
