Every Friday we’ll be letting you know about a few choice happenings in the Exchange! If you have an idea for something to be featured, email nicholas@exchangedistrict.org with “Five Ways to Exchange” in the subject line.
THE STAGE
Fringe Fest – Free Concerts at The Cube
Tonight at The Cube, there’s fun and fancy with family friendly entertainment before the night gets loud with local rock legends The Perms at 10pm and KayR rocks the mic at 11. Saturday night The Noble Theifs deliver the high energy funk rock before Fringe rockers Otto & Astrid take their Die Roten Punkte show to The Cube at 11pm. Sunday JD Edwards Band closes down the Fringe with a show at 9pm!

THE EATS
Deer + Almond
Pop megastar Ed Sheeran recently popped by Deer + Almond, indulging in some desserts which he said featured “all his favourite things” in an interview with Ace Burpee. Come check out some fine dining delights, delicious cocktails and those Sheeran-approved desserts in a restaurant that is quite literally a work of art on your next date or outing with friends and family.

THE TOUR
The EXchange Marks the Spot Family Tour
Every Saturday at 11am this summer, you’ve got a chance to join your child on a journey through the historic Exchange geared towards them! With a fun activity book and plenty of exercise, this brand new tour (a partnership with the Winnipeg Architecture Foundation) is a great way to enjoy the Exchange.
We recommend you book in advance, as the tour books up fast. The cost is $10 per child and is free for parents/chaperones.
