Welcome to the 27th Winnipeg MayWorks Festival!
The Winnipeg MayWorks Festival began in 1994 at the time of the 75th Anniversary of the Winnipeg General Strike. It was an initiative of union and other activists with the aim of exploring the lives of working people, their struggles both past and present and their future aspirations.
Again, this year, MayWorks will offer a virtual festival with a series of online events for you to experience from May 1st to May 31st including:
Mike’s Bloody Saturday
