Head Downtown for the Winnipeg Farmers’ Market

WEBSITE

A farmer’s market right downtown, this event is held on select Thursdays all through the summer. In earlier, chillier months, you’ll find it at Cityplace Mall, but it moves outdoors when the weather heats up. Come down and pick up some fresh produce, home baked bread and pastry, and local artisan products.

Bar + Gelato-Shop Hop on Corydon

We recommend kicking off your weekend here on a Friday evening! Corydon street is perfectly set up for a casual summer’s night walk. Start the evening by having dinner or appetizers at one of the excellent restaurants down the avenue, such as Kristina’s, Beaurivage, or Tommy’s Pizzeria, before grabbing dessert at Eva’s Gelato, GG Gelati, or Nucci’s Gelati. After dessert, follow the live music and drink specials up and down the avenue between bars like Saffron’s, Chaise, and Bar Italia.

Prairie Dog’s season opener is dedicated to mom! Enjoy a leisurely train ride through the prairie with live entertainment, refreshments and ice cream, and hand crafted souvenirs. If you already have plans for Mother’s Day, the railway is still a great choice for a weekend activity all summer long.

Take a Hike Outside the City at Birds Hill Park

A natural homestead located just outside the city, Birds Hill Park is the perfect location for a hike, an afternoon picnic, a beach day, or a weekend at the campground. Keep your eye out for a variety of events held here over the spring and summer, most notably the annual Winnipeg Folk Festival.
