The Folklorama Festival kick-off event was cancelled Saturday, due to inclement weather.
Neverthelees, Winnipeg is gearing up for another two weeks of food, music and dancing from around the world as the 47th Folklorama Festival.
Unfortunately, Mother Nature isn't cooperating, so tonight's @Folklorama Kickoff has been cancelled due to the soggy weather.
