Winnipeg

September 24, 2025

Good morning!

Did you know? Folklorama, the largest and longest-running multicultural festival in the world, takes place in Winnipeg. During this annual event, various cultural communities showcase their heritage through music, dance, and traditional cuisine.

We actually lived in Winnipeg for six months back in 2015, and Folklorama was one of the best experiences we had during our time there. But there’s so much more to this underrated city. From world-class museums and art galleries to polar bears, festivals, gorgeous architecture, and Winnie the Pooh, this is your guide to Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Happy Travels!

27 of the Best Things To Do in Winnipeg

Winnipeg might just be Canada’s most underrated city. Tucked into the heart of the prairies, it’s a place where big-sky beauty meets buzzing culture, and where every corner seems to hold a little surprise. One minute you’re wandering through a world-class museum shaped like a giant glass mountain, the next you’re cruising down a historic river or eating your way through a diverse food market.

The Peg, as the locals proudly call it, boasts a rich history, creativity, and natural beauty, and yes—even polar bears (safely behind glass, of course). Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a lifelong Manitoban looking to fall in love with your city all over again, Winnipeg delivers way more than most people expect.
