We put out our application for our summer slate of festivals at Assiniboia Downs at the beginning of February every year, and book everything by mid-to-late March. While we try to keep our bookings to local, original music, if you’re a touring act who will be through Winnipeg during one of the festival dates in late May, early June, mid July, or late August (or think you might be), please let us know.

While we don’t have a physical venue, and generally aren’t producing events beyond our regular cycle – monthly open mics in the fall/winter/spring, weekly open mics on Mondays in the summer, the slate of summer festivals at Assiniboia Downs, and The Great Patio Showdown during the Winnipeg Comedy Festival – if you have ideas for a co-production, we’re always open to discussing possibilities.

If you’re a touring act (music or comedy) and would be in Winnipeg on a Monday night in the summer, we could potentially have you as a featured headliner for our open mic at the Cube with a Pay What You Can model for attendees. We can also recommend venues for you to get in touch with: Sidestage, The Handsome Daughter, and X-Cues Café & Lounge are great smaller-capacity options, while the Park Theatre and the West End Cultural Centre are 2 of the finest venues in Canada and are great options for larger shows.
