Winnipeg - March 13, 2025 –

Folklorama has teamed up with the Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) for an evening filled with cultural performances, storytelling and cuisine in the Museum’s iconic setting on Friday, March 21.

This event will open with performances by renowned Indigenous performers and take visitors on a journey through the rich histories, stories and flavours of Chile, Greece and Ireland. Attendees will also have the chance to explore various galleries within the Museum.

Savour a menu that celebrates the flavoursome culinary traditions of each highlighted culture, masterfully prepared by WOW! Catering.
