Winnipeg

Winnipeg, the dynamic capital of Manitoba, is a vibrant metropolis of over 850,000 residents situated at the geographic heart of North America. Home to world-class attractions such as the progressive Canadian Museum for Human Rights and The Forks, a historic meeting place where the Red and Assiniboine rivers converge. Year-round celebrations include the Festival du Voyageur, Folklorama, and the Pride Winnipeg Festival.

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR), located at The Forks in Winnipeg, is the first national museum outside of Canada's capital region and the only one in the world dedicated to global human rights education. Its iconic architecture symbolizes a journey from darkness to light, and in early 2026 received the prestigious Governor General’s History Award for its ground-breaking exhibition on Canada’s LGBT Purge and announced an extended run into fall 2026.

The Pride Winnipeg Festival 2026 runs from May 26 to June 7, 2026. Check out the official Pride Winnipeg website for further details, event schedule, and theme announcements.
