Dozens of local and national musicians are set to take the stage at Festival du Voyageur this year.
The lineup for the annual francophone winter festival — which runs from Feb. 13 to 22 at Whittier Park and other St. Boniface venues — was announced Tuesday.
Visiting musical headliners include Montreal indie-rock band Tops, high-energy Vancouver ensemble Five Alarm Funk, rising Saskatoon singer-songwriter Katie Tupper and Toronto party band Dwayne Gretzky.
Also on the bill are Manitoba artists Les Barn Boys, l’Ensemble folklorique de la Rivière-Rouge, Les G-Strings, Men in Kilts, Leaf Rapids, Ivan Flett Memorial Dancers, Ila Barker and dozens of others.
The festival will be open Louis Riel Day, Feb. 16, with free bannock, performances and a Métis kitchen party and parade. Canada’s Drag Race competitor Velma Jones will perform during the Voyageur Pride Night event on Feb. 20.
Visitors to Fort Gibraltar will find educational programming, cultural displays, food, drinks and family-friendly outdoor activities.
See heho.ca for tickets and a full schedule of events.
