Thus, with support from Te Forks and the Winnipeg Arts Council – the Festival of Fools was born! Tis 7 day free family festival features jugglers, clowns, acrobats, swing- ing trapeze and circus workshops and tons of hilarious shows! In addition to funding support from Te Forks and the Winnipeg Arts Council, the WICF solicits dona- tions at the event to both present the best in family entertainment and to keep the festival affordable for everyone!
