Manitoba's capital evolved from a First Nations trading post into a city experiencing cultural renaissance, where Canada's highest per capita live music scene fostered rock legends including Neil Young, The Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive. 

This musical heritage extends through a broader cultural landscape featuring the Canadian Museum for Human Rights and award-winning Journey to Churchill exhibit at Assiniboine Park and Zoo. The performing arts community thrives through the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and Manitoba Opera, complemented by a film industry hosting festivals and Hollywood productions. 

As one of Canada's sunniest cities, Winnipeg celebrates through outdoor festivals like the Fringe Theatre Festival, International Jazz Festival and Folklorama, the world's largest multicultural event featuring over 40 pavilions. Winter brings Festival du Voyageur and skating at The Forks along the Red River Mutual Trail with internationally designed Warming Huts. 

The downtown core features diverse dining from authentic Ukrainian cuisine to French fare, while the surrounding prairies, forests and lakes provide plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation.
