Escape the noise and heat of the concrete jungle and slip into the soothing cool green and relaxing rhythms of a summer afternoon in the Park.

Each year, thousands of Manitobans and tourists enjoy the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s free performances at Assiniboine Park. Sitting on a lawn chair or blanket on the grass, this is a relaxed way to enjoy the ballet and a great introduction to the art form in a picturesque setting.
