Winnipeg Whiteout Street Party Getting Bigger

The next Winnipeg Whiteout Street Party will start this Friday at 4:30 p.m., and it will be the biggest event so far.
An additional television screen, expanded venue, and additional vendors and washrooms are all being incorporated into the April 20 event date. Increasing the capacity of the venue by over 50% will allow even more Winnipeggers to celebrate their hockey team and their city.
Additional entry and exit points will allow for greater site access and movement, including new entry points on Graham and Hargrave, as well as Graham and Smith. This is in addition to existing entry points at Portage and Donald, and St. Mary and Donald.

Street Party attendees are encouraged to use public transportation, taxi or ride-sharing services, carpool, or use active transportation to and from the game, letting everyone safely be part of the celebration.
To prepare for the Street Party, Donald Street will close between Portage and St. Mary at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 20, until 1 a.m. on Saturday, April 21.
