Folklorama is celebrating its 48th annual Festival from
August 6-19, 2017. Get ready for 14 days of amazing
hospitality, fabulous food and drink, fantastic
entertainment, and informative cultural displays.
We can’t wait for you to experience the diverse multiculturalism in our city and
province. We are honoured to show Festival attendees and visitors from far and
wide that Folklorama’s mission to celebrate diversity is an essential part of all
our lives.

The Folklorama Travel Guide is a must have leading up to and during

the festival. It’s packed with information, show times, special services, a
comprehensive map, and it’s small enough to easily take along with you on
your Folklorama experience.

Use the map found in the centre of the Travel Guide to determine which of the
41 pavilions are close to you, or venture out and schedule your pavilion visits in
another part of town and take in two or three shows in one evening!

From there, decide how you want to see the Festival – single admission at the
door, purchase a Vickar Automotive Group Fun Pack (12 tickets for the price of
9) or book a VIP tour. See all of our admission options on page 5.

Share your Folklorama experience with us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and

Snapchat (look for our customized Folklorama Snapchat filter).

TRAVEL GUIDE TIPS:

• Week 1 pavilions are located on pages 16 to 33

• Week 2 pavilions are located on pages 39 to 55

• There is a special service listing on page 15 for the first week and page 37
for the second week, detailing which pavilions offer reservations, children’s
activities, late night parties and outdoor activities.

A MESSAGE FROM THE
PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA
Dear Friends:
I am pleased to extend my warmest greetings to everyone
participating in the 48th annual Folklorama.
Folklorama has become a highlight of the summer in Winnipeg.
This event showcases the beauty and vibrancy of Canada’s
multicultural fabric, and stands as a wonderful reminder that
our country is made great not in spite of its diversity, but
because of it.
I would like to commend the organizers, exhibitors, performers
and volunteers for ensuring this event’s success year after year.
Please accept my best wishes for a memorable experience.
Sincerely,
The Rt. Hon. Justin P.J. Trudeau, P.C., M.P.
Prime Minister of Canada
A MESSAGE FROM THE LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR OF MANITOBA
The sights, the sounds, the smells, the many colours of
friendship. This is Folklorama, the cultural explosion that
electrifies this city every August.
In this, Canada's 150th birthday, Manitobans are bursting
with pride to again welcome the many visitors who join us in
celebrating how fortunate we are to live in a country that not
only embraces, but celebrates multiculturism, and the diversity
that enriches us all.
As the Queen's representative in Manitoba, I offer sincere
appreciation to those of you who have travelled from afar to
visit this great festival of nations, to my fellow Manitobans who
continue to promote with pride all that this province has to offer,
and to the supporters, organizers, and countless volunteers for
the roles you play in ensuring the ongoing success of Canada's
premiere cultural celebration.
 A MESSAGE FROM THE
PREMIER OF MANITOBA

On behalf of all Manitobans, I am pleased to extend my

warmest greetings to those attending Folklorama 2017.
For those visiting from outside our province welcome to
Manitoba.
For the past 48 years, Folklorama has enabled visitors to
experience the various pavilions through food, music, dance
and languages that contribute to Manitoba’s rich and vibrant
cultural mosaic. It is a remarkable opportunity to learn about
The Honourable our province and about each other.
Brian Pallister
It reminds us that Manitoba has been a beacon of hope for
Premier of Manitoba
more than two centuries, attracting people from all over the
world aspiring for a better, safer and more prosperous life
for themselves and their families. Together, we have built a
society that draws strength from its diversity.
Successfully staging the longest-running multicultural event
in the world is a huge challenge. All Manitobans join me in
thanking the thousands of volunteers and the Folklorama
staff for the work they do in order to ensure the festival is the
exciting and entertaining event that it is.

A M E S S A G E F R O M T H E M AY O R O F W I N N I P E G

It is my pleasure to extend greetings to everyone attending the

48th Annual Folklorama Festival — the largest and longest running
multicultural celebration of its kind in the world.
Each summer, Winnipeg transforms itself into a window on the
world — this year, more than 40 pavilions will offer multicultural
entertainment, educational and interactive displays, and not-to-
be-missed traditional foods and beverages. My family and I look
forward to attending as many pavilions as we can every year and I
know you’ll have a great time too.
Brian Bowman On behalf of the City of Winnipeg and my City Council colleagues,
Mayor of Winnipeg
I want to thank the organizers and volunteers whose tireless
efforts go into making events like this possible. Festivals like
Folklorama make Winnipeg summers even better!

Warmly,
Mayor Brian Bowman,
City of Winnipeg
