It’s a gargantuan task to keep track of all of the various festivals taking place in a single province, especially one as committed to merrymaking as Manitoba.

After five years away from covering festival season, we here at The Uniter had to start from scratch. Festivals come and go during the best of times, but the financial and organizational challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic were particularly trying for many of the province’s independent and rural fests.

However, many new festivals have emerged from this period of uncertainty. All in all, we’ve compiled about 100 festivals, old and new alike, and conveniently listed them all in the centre spread of this issue. Feel free to take this page out and use it to plan your summer festivities.

Have fun, party animals!
