Departs and returns to The Forks.\nOne day only! 3 Departure times. 6\, 715\, 830pm \nBefore Winnipeg’s murals appeared on tourism brochures\, graffiti writers were painting train bridges\, river walls\, underpasses\, and abandoned spaces across the city. Long before social media\, young artists built reputations through skill\, risk\, and creativity—drawing inspiration from hip hop\, punk rock\, skateboarding\, BMX culture\, and underground music scenes. \nJoin Winnipeg graffiti pioneer Pat Lazo for a 60-minute river tour exploring the hidden history of graffiti in Winnipeg. From the earliest tags along the riverbanks to today’s celebrated mural movement\, Pat shares firsthand stories of the artists\, crews\, culture\, and communities that shaped the city’s urban art scene. \nAlong the way\, you’ll discover artwork that can only be properly viewed from the water\, learn how graffiti styles evolved over decades\, and gain a deeper understanding of the people behind the paint. Whether you’re an art lover\, lifelong Winnipegger\, or simply curious about the city’s underground history\, this tour offers a rare look at a side of Winnipeg most people never get to see.
