Manitoba's festivals are made for group travel. Groups charter shuttles to the Winnipeg Folk Festival at Birds Hill Provincial Park in July, tour several pavilions in one evening during Folklorama in August, visit Festival du Voyageur in St. Boniface in February, and head north to Gimli for the Icelandic Festival on the August long weekend.
The main benefits are parking and timing. Festival lots fill early, and one vehicle with a fixed return time keeps a group together. For Folklorama, a coach doing a planned pavilion loop is a popular option for seniors' clubs and visiting groups.
Frequently asked questions
Can we charter a bus for Folklorama pavilion tours?
Yes. Many groups book a coach for an evening loop of several pavilions. Share your planned pavilions so the operator can plan the route and timing.
Is there parking for buses at Birds Hill for Folk Fest?
Festival organizers designate bus and drop-off areas. Your operator will confirm the current arrangements for that year's festival.
