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

wide that Folklorama’s mission to celebrate diversity is an essential part of all
our lives.
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.
• There is a special service listing on page 15 for the first week and page 37

A MESSAGE FROM FOLKLORAMA’S
PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Welcome to Folklorama 48! We can’t wait for you to join in on the
festivities and fun from August 6 – 19, 2017!
This year we have 41 pavilions located throughout Winnipeg.
They have been busy planning all year long to welcome you with
open arms and hearts, and share what culture means to them.
We are so grateful for our mighty team of over 20,000 volunteers
who embody our mission of celebrating diversity and promoting
cultural understanding. Our volunteers are our greatest strength
and we couldn’t do what we do without every single one of them.
On behalf of the entire Folklorama organization, we would also
Avrom Charach
like to thank our funders, sponsors, and community partners.
President
Their continued support and contributions throughout the year is
greatly appreciated.
And on a personal note, we extend a special thank you to our
Board of Directors and staff for their loyalty and commitment to
ensure the success of not only the Folklorama festival but also
our Travel, Talent and Teachings divisions year-round.
We encourage you to experience Folklorama to its fullest!
Whether this is your first time to our festival, or you have been a
part of the celebrations for years, we know that you will find ways
to experience all that our member communities have to offer that
