Culture and Community: Jeudis Franco Thursdays in St. Boniface

Posted July 24, 2024 | Author Jonah Nguyen

Jeudis Franco Thursdays happens every Thursday during the summer with activities throughout the entire day. The best part of it all? You can choose your own adventure.

If museums aren't necessarily your thing, you can take part in a tour! If tours don't interest you, there's a market where you can check out local vendors. Better yet, activities can be enjoyed by both English and French speakers.

Morning

Histoire cachée – In Plain Sight

Kick off your morning at Jeudis Franco Thursdays with Histoire cachée – In Plain Sight, an interactive, self-guided augmented reality audio tour. Learn about the Métis, and understand the impact of the residential school system, all while enjoying an interactive and enlightening experience.

La Maison Gabrielle-Roy

La Maison Gabrielle-Roy is a museum located in the former home of French-Canadian author, Gabrielle Roy. Discover the history of the Roy family as you tour the charming house. The house is open from 10 am to 5 pm.

Be sure to pop by the Marché d’été after to pick up some local crafts and treats. Open from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm.

Café Conversation is a welcoming and engaging meetup group for French speakers of all levels in Winnipeg. Whether you're a beginner or a fluent speaker, it's a great way to learn and practice.

Les Jeudis Pétanque (Provencher Park) and Sports en Français (St. Joseph Park) offer a delightful evening of sports and community.

Patio 340 is a vibrant outdoor space, perfect for enjoying live music, delicious food and a lively atmosphere every Thursday. Or, head to Kilter Brewing - a local family-owned-and-operated craft brewery that also hosts live music.

End off the night at Cinéma sous les étoiles and watch a movie outdoors. Bring your own chair, sit back and relax as you enjoy French films with English subtitles. Grab your tickets here.
