Campers Turn Festival Into Art | Winnipeg News

Winnipeg Folk Festival is in full swing, turning Birds Hill Provincial Park into a lively campsite with over 6,000 festival-goers setting up tents, trailers, and even a Scooby-Doo movie night complete with a projector screen. A couple slept in their car for a prime spot, hoping to win the new campground decoration contest — which started last year and offers festival tickets to winners. Meanwhile, a group of 20 campers built an “alien disco” with cardboard UFOs and a spaceship, inspired by the festival’s artistic spirit. The event kicked off with a sold-out crowd, featuring local indie rocker Fontine and closing with Father John Misty. With 15,000 expected daily attendees until Sunday night, the festival’s magic is alive — not just on stage, but in every creative, community-driven campsite.
