Winnipeg Centennial Concert Hall: Bring cultural experiences together

Winnipeg’s Centennial Concert Hall

The Centennial Concert Hall of Winnipeg: 253,014 square feet of glamour, culture and architectural brilliance. After the concept was created in 1960, the project was carried out by Winnipeg architects and other international professionals until the building was complete, costing $8 million in total.

This performing arts facility seats up to a capacity of 2,305 people and is designed to expand our arts and cultural experience in Winnipeg. Attracting not only local performers and artists but also international entertainment, the Centennial Concert Hall is a monumental venue. Driving down Main Street in downtown Winnipeg, you can’t miss it: the structure is one of a kind. But it is inside the Centennial Concert Hall that the real magic happens, where, comfortable in continental-style soft seating, you can watch dance companies, musicians and more – both local and global – perform masterpieces. There are also several mural painted by Canadian artists to enjoy while you wait for the stage performance to begin.

The Centennial Concert Hall has been run by The Manitoba Centennial Centre Corporation Act since June of 2005 to ensure the smooth operation and maintenance of the facility.

Home of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Manitoba Opera, the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and so much more

The Royal Winnipeg Ballet, the Manitoba Opera and the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra all perform at the Centennial Concert Hall on a regular basis, in addition to other concerts and events. The variety of culture displayed and performed at the Centennial Concert Hall is a tribute to its vision of offering a multi-layered, world class facility.

The theatre can be rented out for commercial, charitable or conference and trade show use. Holding up to 1,500 guests, the main floor is used for all kinds of events and serves as an impressive entranceway into the Centennial Concert Hall.

The second floor of the lobby, known as the Piano Nobile, is a special space designed especially as a showcase reception area. The high ceilings and spacious floor are ideal for gatherings accommodating up to 300 people and accent the music from the grand piano situated there beautifully. This part of the Centennial Concert Hall also functions as a small art gallery.

To find out what type of performance will be featured next at the Centennial Concert Hall. You can also keep up to date on future concerts and events by “liking” the Centennial Concert Hall Facebook page or by following them on Twitter (@Concert_Hall), where they also give you the opportunity to win free tickets to shows. If you don’t end up being a lucky winner, tickets for any performance can be purchased at the Centennial Concert Hall Box Office or at any Ticketmaster location.

The Manitoba Museum redefines the museum experience in Winnipeg

Manitoba Museum in downtown Winnipeg

Entertainment, education and enlightenment all rolled into one: the Manitoba Museum has it all! A not-for-profit heritage and science centre, the Manitoba Museum provides an enriching experience for all visitors. It features a number of collections in its heritage galleries, many interactive multimedia shows in the Planetarium and dozens of hands-on exhibits in the special Science Gallery.

The museum details a chronology of Manitoba and world history that goes back millions of years, all neatly packaged into nine interpretive galleries. With more than two million artifacts and specimens available to showcase, the museum is continually rotating its collections so as to have something new for repeat visitors to enjoy. The museum also includes three dimensional walk-through galleries to create a lasting impression of the vast amount of history that we as a society have knowledge of.

Interactive displays provide fun for the whole family

Kids will find the Planetarium to be a real treat. The domed structure is designed to give the illusion of being outside at night and acts as a beautiful illustration of the night sky. Children (and adult space enthusiasts!) can learn all about the latest astronomical discoveries, in addition to legends surrounding constellations and scientific information about the night sky in general. With more than 200 projectors, the Manitoba Museum has the capabilities to show visitors the night sky from anywhere in the world, as well as invite visitors to get an idea of how each of the planets looks up close.

Of equal excitement for children, the Science Gallery allows them to play scientist by conducting experiments on a number of interactive displays. The Science Gallery is a great opportunity for students in grade school to learn about important scientific discoveries while they test them out themselves. Each exhibit includes information outlining how to conduct the experiment, as well as a background of the scientific explanation for it. Touring the Science Gallery will make for an afternoon that your child will never forget!

.

Celebrating the past, present and future at the Manitoba Museum

Since its inception in 1968, the Manitoba Museum has undergone numerous changes in keeping with its mandate to share new ideas and revolutions in science and technology. Its three-way mission focuses on Knowledge, Collections and Preservation, and Interpretation and Communication. Combining these three core values, the Manitoba Museum helps educate visitors while simultaneously encouraging them to question the way the universe works.

The Manitoba Museum is dedicated to involving school programs and provides a teachers guide and resources section on the website, www.manitobamuseum.ca. Day camps are also available for children in grades 1 – 6 during the spring and summer.

Whether you have children or not, it is worth a visit to downtown Winnipeg to explore everything the Manitoba Museum has to offer. You can choose to explore the museum galleries, Planetarium and Science Gallery on your own or with a guided group or audio tour. No one is too old to make new discoveries at the Manitoba Museum!

New Classics: Lumière Chandelier by Jean de Merry (6 photos)

There’s a spiky light fixture that’s at once futuristic and Sputnik retro and catches my attention whenever I see it. (These sightings are quite rare.) The nest-like sculpture by Jean de Merry is called the Lumire Chandelier. It hangs from ceilings in all sorts of rooms and finds a place…

The W.S.O. is renowned as the largest performing arts organization in Manitoba offering musical education programs. Their goal is for everyone interested to be able to learn about, practice and enjoy music to their heart’s content.

This vision is particularly expressed through the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra’s commitment to liaising with schools: every year it reaches out to 300 schools with educational music programs.

Folklorama is one of the biggest cultural events in Winnipeg

Folklorama: One of Winnipeg’s biggest events

Folkorama is a time in Winnipeg when people can embrace their cultures and show off all the things about it that they are proud of. It is also a time when you can learn about other people’s cultures – taste the food, enjoy the music, watch and participate in the dances, and completely immerse yourself in a different world. It started in 1970 as a week-long event but now it lasts for two weeks and each week has 20+ pavilions to explore.

This year Folklorama takes place from August 5– 18.

The way it works is that each pavilion focuses on a different culture. The pavilions are spread throughout the city and take place on different evenings. Each pavilion is managed by volunteers that help guests enjoy their evening. There will be food and drink and entertainment that are central to the culture of the community that is hosting the pavilion. You can visit as many pavilions as you would like but you might want to do some planning before it starts so that you do not get overwhelmed. Download the Folklorama Travel Guide so that you can start planning!

What can you expect at the Folklorama pavilions?

Each pavilion is different so use the Travel Guide to find out what kinds of activities are going to take place. Some of the activities you can look forward to include:

Children’s activities
Outdoor dining (some with bar service)
Sit down dinners (you can make reservations)
Late night parties
Dance bands

What if you want to take in as much as possible?

With an event like Folklorama it can be like a trip around the world if you take in as many of the pavilions as possible but paying individually for each one can get pricey ($6 per pavilion with children under 12 free if accompanied by an adult). That’s why the Family Pack Passport was created. The Family Pack is $54 for 12 tickets so you can take in more entertainment.

Make your experience extra special

If you want to have a special experience, consider one of the VIP Tours. The VIP tours include luxury transportation, admission to three pavilions, an appetizer, main course, and dessert, and reserved seating. There are several VIP tours to choose from including the Wheelchair Accessible Tours, Late Night Tours, and Party Tours, with Independent Travellers Tours and Cycle Tours new this year. They are only $69.95.

If you are from out of town and need accommodations as well, consider the Canad Inns Hotel Package, which includes a VIP Tour and one night stay at one of the Canad Inns locations and a continental breakfast. At $148, this is a great deal.

Find out more about the VIP Tours here.

With dozens of pavilions, I’m sure you’ll find great fun at Winnipeg’s Folklorama event.

Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival a cultural event in Winnipeg

12 days of Fringe Festival Theatre in Winnipeg

The Fringe Festival is one of the best-loved events that takes place every year in downtown Winnipeg – and when you consider the sheer number and variety of festivals, concerts and events that occur in the heart of Winnipeg, that’s saying quite a bit!

From Wednesday July 18 to Sunday July 29, this year’s Fringe Fest will include an amazing 172 plays in 31 venues. The majority of these venues are in the Exchange District and within easy walking distance from one another.

Some of the plays and performers have been returning to the annual Fringe Festival year after year, and others are brand new. You can see a show at just about any time in the afternoon and evening throughout the festival for only $5 to $10 each. Discounts are often available for students (or, for The Anger in Ernest and Ernestine, anyone named “Ernest” will receive a discount). Genres for each play vary wildly from improve to comedy to drama to one-man shows to the just plain quirky. You are bound to find something to please everyone at the Fringe!

The Fringe Festival isn’t just for adults, either. There is a separate “Kids Fringe” with a variety of fun games and activities, including face painting, carnival games, puppet shows and, of course, theatre performances.

Enjoying Downtown Winnipeg During the Fringe Festival

Between theatre shows, spend some time at Old Market Square in Winnipeg’s Exchange District. There you can watch free outdoor performances, including concerts, acrobatic feats and entertainment for kids. Food trucks, a beer tent, and a number of display booths (at which you can purchase clothes, books and more) are also clustered around Old Market Square for you to enjoy. This is a great opportunity to meet some of the Fringe performers, as many of them will be in the area, handing out brochures for their theatre shows.

While you’re in the area, why not try a unique dining experience? From a wine lounge at Sensi to sushi at Blufish, pub fare at the King’s Head and vegan options at the Mondragon, there’s a little something in the area for everyone. Wander over to any of the wonderful restaurants, cafes and pubs in downtown Winnipeg before or after a Fringe play. Remember to take your Fringe program (only $5, available to purchase at Old Market Square) to choose which play you’ll attend next while you dine!

Enjoy the outdoors this summer in downtown Winnipeg

Many fun things to do in downtown Winnipeg

Summer is a great time to get outside and enjoy the beautiful sunny and warm weather right here in Winnipeg. Why not take an extended lunch break over the next month and…

Attend an Out to Lunch concert. These concert series are taking place every Wednesday until mid-August this summer. Located at the Air Canada Park (355 Portage Avenue at Carlton), the concerts go from 12 noon until 1:00 p.m. They are free to all who are interested, and the concerts feature fantastic local talent including the Salinas band, The Dead Stringers, Kyla Cederwall and others. Enjoy these hour-long performances rain or shine! Chairs are provided for all who attend and you are invited to bring your own lunch to the concerts.
Practice yoga. Maybe you have been meaning to check out a yoga studio but just haven’t gotten around to it yet, or maybe you feel a little bit intimidated by going into a class setting – but either way, Yoga in the Park is a fun and energizing way to try out yoga and see if it’s for you. These free sessions are open to the public from 12 noon to 12:45 p.m., every Thursday at Memorial Park. Just bring your mat, a bottle of water and perhaps a small donation for the instructor. Free outdoor yoga to break up the work day? Yes please.
Learn how to zumba. This Latin dance-inspired fitness activity is well worth giving a spin. Join the free session every Tuesday this summer from 12 noon until 12:45 p.m. at Memorial Park. All you need to bring is your sense of fun and adventure! Bonus: you’ll get a great view of the Legislative Buildings while you try out your moves.
Eat lunch at a new restaurant patio. Have lunch for $10 at a variety of restaurants in downtown Winnipeg such as Lobby on York, Hermanos, Tavern United, The Velvet Glove, and many others. This fun Let’s Do Lunch Downtown edition also offers you the opportunity to win a downtown restaurant tour! Learn more about the participating restaurants and the menus they offer at www.downtownwinnipegbiz.com/home/events/dinedowntown. Choose a table on the patio of any restaurant listed for a great view of the downtown Winnipeg skyline, historic buildings, or simply the continuous bustle of downtown Winnipeg life.

These events are all great opportunities to get outside and enjoy the weather, invite your colleagues out to experience the activities Winnipeg has to offer, and see a new perspective on downtown Winnipeg that you may not have caught before. It’s sure to keep you busy all summer long!
