This weekend’s events include sports, shopping and singing!
1. CFL Western Finals
Whether you’re piling in the car for a good old-fashioned road trip to Regina, or you’ll be watching or listening from the comfort of your couch, the countdown is on to the big game on Sunday.
We’re talking about the West Final between our Winnipeg Blue Bombers and the Saskatchewan Roughriders at Mosaic Stadium.

2. Behind Closed Doors
For the 10th year now, the folks at St. Vital Centre are inviting everyone to join them for a late-night shopping event called Behind Closed Doors.
It’s an after-hours affair on Saturday from 7 to 10:30 p.m. that features sales, snacks and performances all under the sparkling holiday lights and decorations.
WATCH: Special shopping experience
Tickets for the event are $5 and ALL of the proceeds from ticket sales will be split between 17 different local charities.
Some of those charities include Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation, Jocelyn House Hospice, Special Olympics Manitoba and Snowflake Place.

3. Winnipeg Beer Choir Sing-Along
This weekend is your chance to get in the festive frame of mind with the Winnipeg Beer Choir.
If you haven’t hung out with these folks before, it’s exactly what the name suggests… singing songs with tons of other people while enjoying a beer or two.
WATCH: Sip & sing
Friday and Saturday, you are invited to join the Choir for their Sing-Along Messiah event.
Both shows start at 7:30 p.m. at Young United Church and tickets are $15 at the door.
Happy weekend everyone!
