Ballet in the park
Overview
Join us for one of Manitoba’s favourite – and FREE – summer traditions! Ballet in the Park is a unique opportunity to enjoy the universal language of dance with family and friends under the prairies skies. It’s a slice of Winnipeg culture that rivals Nutcracker for nostalgia and fun. Become part of our story this summer as the incredible talents from the Company, Professional and Recreational Division gather in one place to deliver performances that celebrate a rich and vibrant legacy of dance. Activities begin at 6:30pm, followed by the performance at 7:30pm, with each night wrapping up around 9pm.
Register for a FREE ticket using the “Buy Tickets” link under the first event date you will be attending. This will get you updates about what’s happening before the show, weather updates, and more, but does not guarantee you a seat at the event. Plus, show your ticket at our information tent to receive a limited edition button and automatically be entered to win one full season subscription.
Dates & Times
Doors open an hour before curtain. We highly recommend arriving when doors open. Arriving early gives you the opportunity to relax, explore the venue, grab a snack or beverage, and soak in the atmosphere before curtain.

We have expanded and more conveniently located our accessible seating area to make it easier for everyone to enjoy the performance.

First aid and security will be present at the park throughout the event.
Participate in engaging children’s activities before the performance like face painting, a craft station, and a free Creative Movement class, plus you can enjoy a variety of tasty food truck offerings. Our merchandise and contest table is your hub to purchase subscriptions, single tickets, and RWB apparel.
