WINNIPEG-LOCAL EVENTS:

MANIFESTO 2008- IT'S COMING SOON:

What is it ? It's a street festival coming to the Red Road Lodge, The Edge Artists' Village and the surrounding parking lot. When is it ? On Saturday, August 16, beginning at 2 pm and lasting until midnight. What happens there ? A whole bunch of things, with child friendly events such as face painting , balloon animals and bike decorations (courtesy of the Bike Dump probably) early in the day. For the adults there will be an Art Opening at The Edge gallery featuring the works of the Absurds, 26 and Atellier National Collectives. For everybody, music through the day and night and a street film festival projected onto the side of the Red Road Lodge. Lots of fun down at the corner of Logan and Main, where in years past few could imagine any fun being had. Catch it if you can. Many thanks to Mahmood for the invite, but Molly is, as the song goes, "leaving on a jet plane" early the next morning. Too bad.
