The sounds we hear and feel help us connect with the places and spaces we visit. Hearing the sounds of trickling water at a spa, feeling the beat of a drum at a local concert, hearing the sounds of slithering snakes, or listening to an audience full of laughter. Where will this week take you? Here are 10 things to do this week in Manitoba.
When it’s time for an escape - look no further than Manitoba’s relaxing spas and wellness destinations. Soak away your stress in a mineral pool at a resort spa, be surrounded by calm at a city oasis and recharge your batteries once you’re completely disconnected at a nature retreat. Whether you’re looking for an afternoon to yourself or a weekend to connect with friends or family, Manitoba is ready to help you relax.
Just as tasty as it sounds... say hello to the Garden View Drive-In, located in Wawanesa! This cute and comforting food spot has all things sweet and savoury. Their impressive menu keeps locals and visitors coming back for more! Try their large dill pickle chips, and the honey dill chicken burger. Make sure to save room for dessert. Ice cream, fries, milkshakes and more! Make it a day trip and stop by surrounding trails and attractions.
Prairie Fusion Arts & Entertainment in Portage la Prairie is the place to be. Friday night, enjoy watching the Dueling Keys take the stage for a spectacular piano bar style concert. Sunday afternoon will be hours of laughter lead by the Sisters of the Holy Rock. See you there!
It's that time of year! There have been reported signs of early activity at the Narcisse Snake Dens. A fun family activity for curious minds of all ages, this makes for a great day trip any day of the week to Manitoba's Interlake! Wind your way through the trees and stop at one of the many dens to see the largest gathering of red-sided garter snakes in the world.
Psst.... The site is a check-in point on the Manitoba Explorer app, so don't miss your chance to get this POI completed! Download the app.
Laughter is the best medicine they say... and it's true! Gear up for gut-wrenching laughter at this year's Winnipeg Comedy Festival! Laugh out loud and enjoy the best comedic acts around in the heart of Manitoba. Five mega shows, 6 days of laughs, 35 shows and over 90 comedians! Laughter... guaranteed.

Get ready to try the triple-bubble, all for a good cause! Say hello to the newest and tastiest collaboration between the Bridge Drive-In and the Winnipeg Sea Bears. Deliciously layered swirls of soft bubblegum soft serve... with the option to add-on rolled peanuts and/or coconut! Would you try it? Yum!
It's never too early to start planning summer road trips and activities... so start now! Flin Flon, the northern Manitoba town with a curious name, is more than its mining identity. If you're looking to travel north, plan an overnight or two in this quirky town that is equally as proud of its rugged wilderness setting as its burgeoning arts and culture scene. Here's how to spend 24 hours in Flin Flon!
Yes there is a Star Wars Day and it's happening on May 4th! Star Wars Day is celebrated annually by fans of the Star Wars franchise.
