MADE IN WINNIPEG
Discover WinniPeg
When you’re in Winnipeg, festivals aren’t just events—they’re part of the city’s rhythm. Built on Treaty 1 Territory and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis, Winnipeg carries a deep Indigenous and cultural history that continues to shape its identity today.
From riverfront gatherings to neighbourhood street celebrations and large-scale arts festivals, the city has a way of turning everyday spaces into places for connection and storytelling.
Between shows, you’ll find a strong local food scene, historic districts, and wide-open prairie horizons that give everything a bit more breathing room—and a lot more character.
The Great Outdoors Comedy Festival brings a fresh wave of live comedy to Winnipeg, turning open-air spaces into lively hubs where audiences can gather, unwind, and experience some of the best stand-up talent in the country against a backdrop of prairie skies.
Rooted in the spirit of Treaty 1 Territory and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis, the festival reflects Winnipeg’s deep cultural layers and its long tradition of gathering, storytelling, and performance in shared public spaces. It’s as much about place as it is about punchlines.
Alongside its marquee acts, the festival highlights local creative voices and community connection, helping amplify Winnipeg’s growing arts scene while contributing to the broader cultural fabric that makes the city a distinct and welcoming destination for live events.
We acknowledge Treaty 1 Territory and the Métis Nation homeland, and honour Assiniboine Park, The Forks, the Exchange District, the arts community, the city’s diverse culture, and the shared gift of laughter.
