You know summer is just around the corner in Winnipeg when Assiniboine Park announces its summer concert series.
The free, outdoor events — held at three different venues within the iconic city park — kick off with a star-studded day-long celebration of Indigenous Peoples Day June 22, and run through July and August.
The main stage, Assiniboine Park’s Lyric Theatre, will feature performances by artists including singer-songwriter Scott Nolan, Indigenous country icon Ernest Monias, acclaimed Americana group Leaf Rapids, and Latin party band El Leon and the Strangers.
