It’s time to practice shouting , HE’HO-Festival Du Voyageur is coming!
A special KICK-OFF to one of Canada’s Biggest and Best French-Canadian Festivals happened yesterday. Festival Du Voyaguer begins FEBRUARY 17th and brings with it a host of activities to make Winter a True Treat! QX104 is an official sponsor and we can’t wait for the 48th edition to open! Festival celebrates Canada’s 150th birthday , by welcoming 150 world-class international and local who perform over ten spectacular days.
Voyageur Park ( Whittier in the summer) transforms into Activity Central where Metis and First nations , the founding cultures of the Red River Settlement come to life. This is where you’ll hear music of old , enjoy traditional cuisine see sensational shows and snow sculptures. You’ll be taken back into yesteryear to appreciate the history of Manitoba’s past.
With so much to do , the question might be, is ten days enough? So much to see and do like the first ever wood carving challenge; kids will love a redesigned winter playground- towers, tunnels and hills to climb; Market days will offer handmade arts and crafts; see a giant mosaic honoring Tommy Prince ; Huge entertainment tents and much more. The Wild Winter Canoe Race on the RED , during Louis Riel Day will draw hundreds. Tickets and information , maps and the official program easy to get. Heho.ca #HEH02017 or 233allo@sfm.mb.ca . Mark your calendar and practice shouting …”HEHO HEHO”…it’s part of the language used at Festival!!
