Winnipeg’s wild and woolly Festival du Voyageur!

What:      Festival du Voyageur
Where: Near Fort Gibraltar + various “trading posts” across Winnipeg, MB
When: February 12 – 21, 2010
Why: Got what it takes to be a voyageur? Put your jigging, fiddling, & even your beard to the test celebrating the French fur trader roots of the Red River colony.
How: Forget paddling. Hop off VIA’s cross-country train – the Canadian – and straight into the costume balls, ice sculptures, contests and concerts!

Pea soup, tourtiere, and sugar pie await! Visit the Festival du Voyageur website.
