Main Stage Show

Come to one of Folklorama’s most popular pavilions!

       The main stage show multiple times per night under the following schedule:

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday – 6:45 & 8:15 pm

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday – 6:45, 8:15 & 9:45pm   

Saturday – 5:15, 6:45, 8:15 & 9:45

Our show is a  lively mix of contemporary and traditional Celtic music and dancing. Our show features The Ena Sutton Highland Dancers of Winnipeg who have been entertaining Pavilion-goers with their lovely Highland Dance-inspired choreography since 1975. Their dancing, combined with the wonderful musical stylings of the Flying Haggis Show Band & Glenaura Pipes & Drums combine for one of the best shows Folklorama has to offer. 

Don’t miss out!

Guest Pipe Band Schedule

Between mainstage shows, head to the courtyard under the tent to see a different guest pipe band each night! They play following the first and second shows at 7:30 & 9 pm.

Interactive Cultural Room

Visit our various booths and displays for information and demonstrations on spinning wool into yarn with Deb Stewart & Bronwyn Swanson, tracing your family tree with the Manitoba Genealogical Society, Highland Dancing with the Manitoba Highland Dancers’ Association, learning about the pipes & drums with the Lord Selkirk RFM Pipe Band, participation dancing with the Royal Scottish Country Dancers Society and the Lads & Lasses,  and many more…

Please check the posters in the Cultural Room to confirm the schedule of presentations and booths.

The Scotch Glen

Before you leave, make sure to head down the hall and visit the Scotch Glen. This is so much more than a secondary bar area. Stop by for a lesson on the history, varieties and distilling of Scotch Whisky. You can purchase a full 1 ounce or two 1/2 ounce samples from our selection of fine, aged  Single Malt Scotches, in addition to other beverage options. Feel free to sit and socialize, mingle and visit the nearby Hint of Heather gift shop.
