Despite the lack of snow on the ground, organizers are preparing for one of the city’s most popular winter events. Festival du Voyageur announced Thursday that tickets for the 58th edition of the event are now on sale. The event, which celebrates Francophone, Métis and Voyageur history, runs from Feb. 12-21 at Whittier Park in St. Boniface. For the 2027 edition, the festival has made changes to the Voyageur Pass and Weekend Pass, with admission to the park under the passes now being electronic, replacing physical wristbands. Quebec artist Cœur de Pirate will perform on the festival’s opening night, with more performers being announced in January. The festival includes winter activities, ice sculpting, sleigh rides and historical demonstrations. Last year saw 70,051 people attend over 10 days. More information about the festival, and ticket information, can be found online.
