The Royal Manitoba Winter Fair is coming up in a few short weeks, starting Monday March 31st and running right through until Saturday, April 5th!
Program Manager for the Provincial Ex, Kristen Laing, says they've got a fantastic line-up of entertainment for this year's Royal Winter Fair, from equine events to the Royal Courtyard to the Royal Farmyard to watching our furry canine friends do incredible things!
Complimentary kids' tickets are returning for the 2025 show, thanks to Manitoba Hydro. Kids 5 and under are free, but families can get in on free tickets for 6–12-year-olds by downloading their tickets prior to March 30th from the Provincial Exhibition website HERE, and that's one ticket per child, per day. So, if you're wanting to attend the Fair multiple days then you'd need to download multiple tickets for each child again, before March 30th.
Monday, March 31st is Heroes Day and kicks off with a Sunrise Credit Union Breakfast at the Dome Building. The Provincial Ex is partnering with Samaritan House Ministries to collect non-perishable food items for their food bank that day. For Heroes Day all service members, police officers and fire department / EMS members will receive free admission with family members in their vehicles getting in for half price.
Tuesday, April 1st will be 4-H Day sponsored by the Co-ops of Westman. Also, on this day the Future Farmers Photo Contest finalists will be on display and open for a community vote as to which photo wins the $500 Grand Prize.
