Spring in Winnipeg: Local Events to Warm Your Heart and Welcome the Season

As the snow melts away and Winnipeg begins to bloom, the city comes alive with events that bring us together, celebrate creativity, and showcase the unique spirit of our communities. Whether you’re a long-time local or new to the neighbourhood, these spring happenings offer the perfect chance to enjoy the best of Winnipeg’s culture and charm.


Here are a few must-visit events this April and May that I’m especially excited about:

🎨 Lita Fontaine: Winyan

📅 May 3 – May 17
📍Winnipeg Art Gallery-Qaumajuq

Lita Fontaine, a celebrated Dakota/Anishinaabe/Metis artist, presents her solo exhibition Winyan, a powerful exploration of Indigenous identity, womanhood, and tradition. Her work is deeply rooted in storytelling, and this exhibit invites reflection on the roles, strength, and spirituality of Indigenous women. It’s a must-see for art lovers and anyone interested in Winnipeg’s rich cultural mosaic.


😂 Winnipeg Comedy Festival – "Maybe It’s Me"

📅 April 29 - May 4

📍 Burton Cummings Theatre, 364 Smith St

Laughter is the best way to shake off the winter blues, and the Winnipeg Comedy Festival never disappoints. This year’s show Maybe It’s Me promises a hilarious lineup of Canada’s top comedians. The iconic Burton Cummings Theatre provides the perfect backdrop for an evening of big laughs and even bigger smiles.


🏛️ Doors Open Winnipeg 2025

📅 May 24–25
📍 Various historic locations across Winnipeg

Doors Open Winnipeg is a citywide celebration of our local heritage and architecture. This annual event lets you peek behind the doors of some of the city’s most iconic and rarely accessible buildings — for free! It’s a wonderful opportunity to learn about Winnipeg’s past while exploring landmarks and hidden gems that shape the city’s identity today.


🌾 St. Norbert Farmers’ Market

📅 Every Saturday - year round! Summer hours start May 17th!
🕒 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM. Summer hours - 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM.
📍 3514 Pembina Highway

There’s something special about shopping local, and the St. Norbert Farmers’ Market is the heart of that experience in Winnipeg. From fresh produce and baked goods to handmade crafts and friendly smiles, this market is a springtime staple. It’s also a fantastic way to support local growers and makers while soaking up the sunshine.


Spring is more than just a season — it’s a feeling. A time to reconnect, refresh, and rediscover the beauty of our communities. As a Winnipeg realtor, I love helping people find not only the right home but the neighbourhoods and events that make this city such a vibrant place to live.

Whether you’re attending a gallery opening, laughing until your cheeks hurt, or picking up fresh greens at the market, these moments remind us why Winnipeg is so easy to fall in love with — especially in the spring.

🌍 Celebrate Earth Day in Winnipeg: Simple Swaps & Smart Upgrades for a Greener Home & Future

As the snow melts and Winnipeg bursts into spring, it's the perfect time to think about ways to live a little greener at home. Earth Day is a reminder that small changes can make a big impact—not just for the environment, but for your home's comfort, efficiency, and value.

As a local realtor, I’ve seen eco-conscious features become increasingly important to buyers here in Winnipeg. Homes that offer energy efficiency, sustainability, and smart upgrades tend to stand out—and often sell for more.

So whether you're thinking about selling or just want to create a more eco-friendly space, here are some seasonally appropriate, practical ways to green your home this spring and summer.


🌿 Simple Swaps for a Greener Home

You don’t have to start with a renovation—small changes can add up:

  • LED bulbs for patios, porches, and garden lighting—more efficient and longer-lasting.

  • Low-flow fixtures help save water as we head into gardening and lawn-care season.

  • Eco-friendly cleaning products for spring cleaning that’s safe for your family and the environment.

  • Reusable items like beeswax wraps, cloth napkins, and refillable containers to reduce everyday waste.


🌞 Spring & Summer Sustainability Tips

  • Rain barrels: Collect rainwater to use in your garden and reduce strain on the water system.

  • Native plants & pollinator gardens: Choose local species that thrive in our climate and support biodiversity—bonus: they’re low-maintenance!

  • Outdoor compost bins: Get ready for garden season by composting food scraps and yard waste to create rich soil.

  • Unplug & open up: Take advantage of warmer weather by unplugging and letting natural light and fresh air in.


⚡ Energy-Efficient Upgrades That Add Value

  • Energy-efficient windows & doors: Still important in Winnipeg, but especially useful in keeping your home cool during our hot prairie summers.

  • Smart thermostats: Control cooling efficiently and save on energy bills during temperature swings.

  • Solar panels: Manitoba has plenty of sunny days—solar can be a smart long-term investment, and Manitoba Hydro offers programs to help.


🏡 Why Green Homes Matter in Winnipeg

Winnipeggers care about sustainability, and buyers are paying attention. Eco-friendly features like efficient heating/cooling, water-saving upgrades, and green landscaping don’t just benefit the planet—they make your home more comfortable, more attractive, and more valuable when it hits the market.


Thinking of making your home a little greener this season? Let’s chat! I’d be happy to share which upgrades are worth the investment in our local market—and help you turn Earth Day inspiration into real value for your home.

Spring Home Maintenance Check-list

I don't know about you, but I am so excited about spring!  It's as if all of humanity is being brought back to life! For many, it is a time to do a significant clean around the house, to declutter and remove unwanted items.  

Whether you are getting ready for a sale, or just wanting to maintain your haven, here are eight important things that should be included on every homeowner’s spring checklist this year:

Examine the Roof

During the winter months, the roof of your home takes a beating. After months of heavy snowfalls, wind storms and ice build-up, your roof shingles may be in need of some attention. Hire a professional to climb up onto your roof and do an inspection. Check if any shingles are missing, cracked, buckled, or if they are beginning to curl. Shingles that have any damage at all should be replaced. If it looks like you have more than just a few shingles to replace, it may be time to start budgeting for a new roof before next winter.

Clean Out the Gutters

While we are on the topic of roofs, check out the gutter situation. The gutters on your house should be cleaned at least annually to prevent clogs and damage. The best time to do it is in the late fall after the leaves have fallen off nearby trees. Winter storms tend to cause plenty of debris to fly around, and some of it could be lodged in your gutters. Getting this done again at the beginning of the spring season will set you ahead of the curve when it comes to summer storms and help improve the health of your roof. 

Inspect the Attic

Next, make your way up to the attic. Check for moisture, mould, water damage, or signs of any pesky critters living up there. Build-up of moisture could lead to significant damage if left undetected, and it is also a sign that you may need to get your roof inspected.

Thoroughly Investigate the Basement

After going up, it’s time to head down to the basement. Look for similar things as you would in the attic. Basements are more prone to issues such as water and moisture damage, especially as the seasons change. While you are down there, check for any cracks or signs of leaks in the foundation. Check out the sump pump and windows to ensure they are all sealed properly.

Inspect the Air Conditioning Unit

As the temperatures rise, it’s only a matter of time before you decide to turn on the AC to get some relief on those hot summer days. Make sure you do a thorough inspection of the AC unit, or hire a professional to do this for you if you’re unfamiliar with the required maintenance. The beginning of spring is a great time to change the filters and call in to have the unit serviced if needed.

Fence and Deck Maintenance

With all the snow and ice melted, it’s time to inspect your fences and deck. Check for cracked boards or panels, and make a plan to replace them if needed. It’s also good to check under the deck for signs of rodents or other pests that could have taken up residence during the colder months.

Spend Some Time on the Lawn

No one’s grass looks great after a long, harsh winter. Spend some time this spring tending to your front and back lawn. This could involve spreading grass seed or creating a better drainage system to eliminate water pooling, which is unpleasant to walk in and creates mosquito habitats.

Top-to-Bottom Interior Clean

Finally, we recommend doing a thorough top-to-bottom clean of your home’s interior. Clean out the fridge and kitchen cupboards and put all your winter wear away into storage. After all, lightening up your home and decluttering it will only add to the peace of mind that usually comes once the spring weather hits.

Last but not least, get back outside and enjoy it!
