Weekender festivities to take over downtown

Downtown Winnipeg will host the Weekender festival from Friday evening to Sunday, promising a variety of activities for visitors. The free event, billed as "Downtown's Biggest Street Party," will take over the Graham Avenue pedestrian mall between Donald and Fort streets, with additional programming in the surrounding areas. Organizers, including Downtown Winnipeg BIZ, Smith Events, and Arch Events, aim to provide fun, entertainment, and support for local businesses.

The festival features a classic car show, Winnipeg Pro Wrestling, and Bachata dancing, among other attractions. The Manitoba Labour Board recently ended a strike involving 350 Dynacare workers, who must return to work on Wednesday despite their union's objections.
