Festival du Voyageur
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Festival du Voyageur (literally translated as Festival of the Traveller) is an annual 10-day winter festival which takes place in St. Boniface, Manitoba, Canada during February. "Voyageur" refers to those who worked for a fur trading company and usually travelled by canoe.
This event is held in the Winnipeg's French Quarter, Saint-Boniface and is Western Canada's largest winter festival. The event celebrates Canada's fur trading past and her unique French heritage and culture through entertainment, arts and crafts, music, exhibits and displays.
