2022 is YEAR TEN for our Festival!

Join us at Red River Exhibition Place, 3977 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg

Friday September 9,  5:00 – 9:00 pm

Saturday September 10,  10:00 am – 4:00 pm

 

The Manitoba Fibre Festival is a unique event connecting local fibre farmers with the crafting community.  Discover sheep and alpaca fleece straight from the shepherd, hand-spun and hand-dyed yarns, and beautiful finished pieces made by talented artisans and much more in the vendor market.

The Fibre Festival is a family friendly event, offering demonstrations of many crafts from ancient lace-making techniques to machine knitting and sheep shearing; a curated fibre art show, and a wonderful market. Meet the sheep and alpacas face to face in the Hall of Breeds display! 

Workshops are offered on Friday and Saturday. Please register in advance for those. 

The Manitoba Fibre Festival is a welcome opportunity for urban and rural Manitobans to come together in a relaxed creative atmosphere, to learn new skills, and to celebrate local fibre farmers and fibre artists.

Join us to celebrate how our fibre community has grown over the last 10 years!

Admission: $5.00 (age 14 and under free)

Free parking
