Winnipeg’s long winters make us – its citizens – crafty. We are a creative bunch, scheming up ways to keep ourselves and those around us inspired and entertained. Plug In ICA wants to celebrate this energy with a three day festival of all things DIY* scheduled to take place from May 7 – 9, 2010. During the day, we will host a bazaar-like extravaganza of DIY* publishing, media, screenings, performances, music and installations, crafts, demonstrations, and snacks. In the evening, we will be a live music and performance venue, featuring bands and DJs.

Outdoor programming is available free of charge. Indoor programming is subject to admission as a fundraiser for Plug In ICA. Please find details below.
