Folklorama Fun

At Candie & Dolls, we love to showcase Canadian brands, but you can also find some international brands at our shop! For example, ETC is an Italian line with simple classics and pretty details. The 100% cotton dresses sold instantly this summer and we're very excited to see what's new this fall! A new brand to Candie & Dolls this year was Natasha Gan from Australia. With beautiful patterns and colours, her dresses were an instant hit!

We also enjoy music from around the world and you can occasionally hear French, Spanish, Italian and even Chinese music at Candie & Dolls! In light of this, we'd like to draw your attention to Folklorama, a highlight of summer in Winnipeg that demonstrates our city's vast multiculturalism.

With 46 pavilions, including three new ones, at locations across the city over two weeks, you are sure to find something that intrigues you! Each pavilion has music and dance featuring local talent or international acts. You will also be able to sample delicious food and drink from the region that the pavilion represents. Some staff favourites include the pavillions from the Indian, Israeli, Korean, Brazilian and Chilean communities.

If you'd like to make it a family outing, children 12 and under get in free and be sure to check out the pavilions with children's activities. For more of a date night setting, some pavilions take dinner reservations and there are also late night parties, ideal for a girls' night out! More details can be found at http://www.folklorama.ca/
