What to pack
August in Winnipeg means hot, sunny weather, so lightweight clothing is in order. Be prepared for cooler evenings with a sweater or a light jacket. You may want to consider packing walking shorts and breathable fabrics for your free time and for the evening of Folklorama on Thursday night since some of the pavilions are not air conditioned.
Thunderstorms can arrive unexpectedly and dramatically, so a waterproof jacket and/or umbrella is also a good idea.
There are lots of beautiful places to walk close to the Hotel Fort Garry, so make sure you bring good walking or running shoes with you.
