The Manitoba government announced it is proudly providing Festival du Voyageur with $324,000 as it celebrates its 56th year showcasing Manitoba’s rich francophone heritage, Sport, Culture, Heritage and Tourism Minister Nellie Kennedy announced today. 

“Festival du Voyageur is not only a cultural highlight but also an economic driver for Manitoba,” said Kennedy. “With events that draw well over 75,000 visitors, this festival is an opportunity to connect with our province’s heritage through music, storytelling, historical interpretations and more. We look forward to seeing you all there.” 

Since 1969, Festival du Voyageur’s long-standing commitment to showcasing Manitoba’s francophone roots has made it a beacon of cultural pride, noted the minister. Running from Feb. 14 to 23 at Whittier Park and other locations in St. Boniface, the festival celebrates Manitoba’s diverse francophone cultures and fur-trading history.
