Every July the city hosts North America's second largest Fringe Festival (only Edmonton's is bigger). Winnipeg has been named the Slurpee capital of the world eight times in a row, despite also being named the coldest city in the world with a population of over 600,000. And finally, Winnipeg is home to Canada's newest DemoCamp!
That's right, on May 29th the first ever DemoCamp in Winnipeg will be held at the King's Head Pub. Here are the details:
