We are pleased to announce that approximately 70,000 people came to enjoy the lights of the nineteenth annual Canad Inns Winter Wonderland this year! Our fourth best result in the show’s history.
As a result of the terrific support shown by Winnipeggers, we’re pleased to announce that Canad Inns Winter Wonderland has been able to donate $15,000 to young Manitobans. The donation has been split between KidSport Manitoba and the Red River Exhibition Foundation. To date, over $315,000 has been sent to Manitoba charities on behalf of everyone who came out to enjoy the lights during the holiday season.
“Thank you to everyone who came out to continue this great tradition. We are seeing a variety of generations bringing out family members and friends to celebrate the holiday season. The lights, the sleigh rides, the skating rink and our new photo area are all contributing to a fantastic and very affordable night out,” said Garth Rogerson, Red River Exhibition, CEO.
Special thanks go out to long-time sponsor Canad Inns Destination Centres, Red River Co-operative Ltd., Battlefield Equipment as well as our invaluable media partners and ticket sales outlets for their continued support.
Produced by the Red River Exhibition Association, Canad Inns Winter Wonderland is Manitoba’s largest drive-thru holiday light show and provides a brilliant presentation of over one million lights in 26 different theme areas. The 2.5 kilometre route was open nightly from November 30, 2018 to January 5, 2019 (except Christmas Day when the Park was closed). Next year’s event runs November 29, 2019 to January 4, 2020.
