Winter in Manitoba can be a long, cold, dark time. But if the rumours are true, Winnipeg is filled with hearty people who actually still live and thrive in winter.

WINTERRUPTION is an effort by Winnipeg’s best music venues to give you a great reason to leave your house in the dead of winter. Produced by the West End Cultural Centre in partnership with Real Love Winnipeg and venues around town, we’re bringing you both ticketed and free concerts at the end of January.

This year’s concert series has expanded to 12 shows featuring 30+ performers in multiple venues including the West End Cultural Centre, Good Will Social Club, Bulldog Event Centre, and the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.
