The Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s 79th season begins with Ballet in the Park, a treasured tradition that spans over four decades! This free, family-friendly event is a wonderful way to experience ballet.
If the opportunity to watch world-class ballet under the prairie sky doesn’t hook you, then perhaps catching a sneak peek of The Wizard of Oz, Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s new creation, will do the trick. L. Frank Baum’s beloved tale of family, friendship, and courage will be brought to life by choreographer Septime Webre. We invite you to be among the first to see the ballet before it makes its Canadian premiere in May 2019.
Ballet in the Park also features a performance by the RWB School Recreational Division students along with excerpts of Romeo & Juliet danced by the RWB School Professional Division students. We offer the following pre-show activities for your little ones:
Crafting, Wizard of Oz face painting, pointe shoe toss, and a contest to win a pair of tickets to an upcoming RWB performance.
Need a pre, during, or post Ballet snack? We have you covered with food trucks, including:
Kyu Grill, Walleye Wagon, Red Dot Japanese Cuisine, GG Gelati, Burgers R Us, Island Fusion

Fin de Fiesta Presents Salvaje: An Untamed Night of Flamenco Music and Dance
Direct from Spain, Fin de Fiesta Flamenco dance and music ensemble presents Salvaje, a new production that explores the wild, unrestrained side of one of the world’s most passionate and intense art forms, flamenco.
The searing vocals of Alejandro Mendia (Noces Gitanes, France) are accompanied by the intricate guitar arpeggios of Dennis Duffin (Ventanas, Canada) and the haunting flute melodies of Lara Wong (Vancouver/Madrid). Dancer Lia Grainger (2017 Certamen New York International Flamenco Competition finalist) brings the stage to life with fierce and sensual choreographies and improvisations and Hanser Santos Gómez (Cuba) holds down the rhythm on cajon. Deborah "La Caramelita" (Noces Gitanes, France) will also join the ensemble as a special guest dancer.
Salvaje means “wild” and pays homage to flamenco’s rough-and-tumble origins. Flamenco draws from many cultural and historical influences, but the members of Fin de Fiesta often find themselves most drawn to the raw and improvisational “gitano” style that emerged 200 years ago from the gypsy culture of southern Spain.
Since 2013 Fin de Fiesta Flamenco has played more than 90 concerts. They released their first album in 2016 and toured across Canada and France to rave reviews. They will leave you breathless, with the pulsing rhythms of flamenco beating in your heart.
