WELCOME TO SUMMER! JAZZ FESTIVAL FREE OPENING WEEKEND
Join us at Old Market Square for the start of Winnipeg’s summer festival season at our Opening Weekend — which is always free and packed with diverse and exciting music. Old Market Square vibrates with energy and enthusiasm from Thursday, June 16 to Sunday, June 19. Thursday night is full of festival favourites like Moses Mayes ft. Maiko Watson and The Mariachi Ghost, Friday is the ever-popular Latin Night featuring Papa Mambo, on Saturday night indie rock reigns with Close Talker and VIKINGS taking the stage, and Sunday’s a funky R&B dance party with a hip hop vibe featuring the incredible Dawn Pemberton. Each night has its own distinct feel, but all are equally full of talent and solid groove.
