(KEITH SRAKOCIC / THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ARCHIVES)
1 Start your engines
Calling all Mustang drivers! The 33rd International Mustang Meet is back in Winnipeg for the first time since 1994. To celebrate the final day of the meet, drive your Mustang down to the Victoria Inn for the Sunday Cruise event. Cruisers drive one of Manitoba’s most scenic routes: down River Road to the Half Moon Drive In. The cruise will begin at 10 a.m. today, though you’re encouraged to get there early as parking space is limited. For more information visit manitobamustang.com .
2 Barge in
Take in the final day of the Manitoba Lotteries Barge Festival — a culmination of the three-day festival of free entertainment afloat on a barge stage.
To cap off the fest, enjoy the music of the Dust Rhinos, the Barra MacNeils and the Bart House Band. Also, don’t miss the Arrival of the Selkirk settlers parade, which kicks off the festivities at noon, and the fireworks display at 9:30 p.m. For more information, visit theforks.com .
