Located at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, The Forks has been a meeting place that began with First Nations peoples, followed by European traders and later with rail yards and surges of immigration. The history of The Forks tells the dynamic tale of how Winnipeg grew into the beating heart of our continent.

Today, The Forks is Winnipeg's place to be. This national historic site is free for you to wander through. Uncover the countless stories under your feet with a self-guided tour through the Parks Canada App, or book an intimate event in one of the site's picturesque green spaces.
