At Rock the River, we’re more than just a bonspiel. We’re a community not-for-profit organization that brings people together each year to celebrate health, inclusivity, and local spirit — all while supporting the Heart & Stroke Foundation and KidSport Manitoba.

Curling outdoors on the frozen river is a unique experience! Since 2002, teams from all over Manitoba, North America, and even New Zealand have joined our bonspiel to experience outdoor curling during a Canadian winter. We have raised more than $253,094 for local charities. The event continues to evolve and grow each year as we adjust to the unique challenges.

Enjoy our winter, find the beauty of being outside under the prairie sky whether its in the sunlight or under the stars. Enjoy the camaraderie of friends, family, and neighbors while being active and raising money for charity. Rock The River winter festival is where everyone can play! No curling experience is needed, only a can do spirit and some warm clothes. Teams must be a minimum of three to a maximum of six players. Get your friends, family, or co-workers together and register a team for this uniquely Winnipeg winter event.
