Hey there, time traveller!

Start booking off the days now because the 103rd Grey Cup Festival is jam-packed with events during the Canadian Football League’s penultimate week.
The 103rd Grey Cup festive event lineup was unveiled Tuesday at the University of Winnipeg, with 16 events planned between Nov. 25 and Grey Cup Sunday on Nov. 29.
The week kicks off with the arrival of the Grey Cup to the University of Winnipeg Campus on Nov. 25. The CFL Awards ceremony is set to take place the next day at Club Regent Casino. The 103rd Grey Cup Festival Gala Dinner is scheduled on the eve of the Grey Cup game at the RBC Convention Centre and will feature notable comedian Gerry Dee and Bachman Turner Overdrive frontman Randy Bachman, both of whom will perform.
The Grey Cup Festival is also teaming up with the Santa Claus Parade, which will take place on Nov. 28. The parade will close with the Parka Party and a fireworks display.
The week is expected to feature a concert series with acts such as The Sheepdogs, Loverboy, Dallas Smith and 54-40.
More than 10,000 visitors are expected to converge on Winnipeg for Grey Cup week.
