It’s never too early to plan a trip around the world. Folklorama 55 kicks off in August for its annual celebration of cultures from six continents and the long-running festival has announced its 2026 lineup. The 55th edition of Folklorama will feature authentic cuisine, live entertainment, and cultural displays at a total of 45 pavilions. Folklorama has announced the Heart of Romania and Salvadorian pavilions’ debut this summer. Meantime, the First Nations, Mexican, and Chilean pavilions return in 2026 following brief hiatuses. Folklorama 55 runs August 2-15 at various locations around the city. Tickets and VIP tour passes go on sale to the general public on June 8. Folklorama said pavilion locations, showtimes and other details about this year’s festival are coming soon. Folklorama’s annual Casinos of Winnipeg Kick-Off event is slated for Saturday, July 25, at the Lyric Theatre in Assiniboine Park.
