Manitoba Lotteries Barge Festival

Come join us for three days of FREE, fun, and diverse musical programming at The Forks August, 19, 20, & 21, 2011.  The stage has moved from a floating barge on the river to dry land under the canopy due to high water levels, but what hasn't changed is the fabulous and eclectic lineup of musicians that will be playing all weekend long!

Friday night is a Franglish mashup featuring the Justin Lacroix Band and Red Moon Road.  The sensational sounds of the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra brought to you by the Winnipeg Arts Council- Arts Development Program headlines Friday night, and is sure to make the night magical.  Saturday is dubbed 'Sirens of Song', showcasing an all female-led lineup featuring Jess Reimer, Little Miss Higgins, and the superb Melissa McClelland.  Sunday kicks off at noon with the Manitoba Stars Attractions Talent Showcase, brought to you by It's Manitoba Time-Travel Manitoba, and wraps up with the salsa sounds of Son Urbano.

Don't miss the summer sounds and sights of The Manitoba Lotteries Barge Festival at The Forks!
