Music festivals can be overwhelming for many people taking in live sights and sounds. That’s why Real Love Summer Fest is focusing on a safe environment.
The annual celebration runs July 27-29 in Teulon, Man., about 60 kilometres north of Winnipeg.
This year, the festival’s board of directors completed safer spaces training with Red Tent, which provides education and creates awareness about sexual consent, safer spaces, respect and anti-oppression.

Organizers say a new safety tent will be on site for people to seek resources during the festival, or to spend time away from the noise.
Real Love is catered to the awkward, odd and chill, providing a safer space for those who need it. People of all genders, abilities, ages, cultures and sexualities are encouraged to attend, with assurance that any form of discrimination will not be tolerated.
Real Love Winnipeg is an independent concert promotion company based in Winnipeg, putting on more than 40 concerts each year including a bi-weekly indie music night at The Handsome Daughter. Their goal is to make Winnipeg a frequent destination for underground and established touring bands.
