It was one EPIC sunny weekend here in Winnipeg and I took so much advantage of it by biking to all the events that I can manage to attend. 
Starting off Friday with the first Alleyways Market of the season. This outdoor post-work pop up market will be happening every first Friday of the month this summer and will feature local artisans and food vendors. You know I can't resist the chance to grab some popsicles from Pop Cart and beet chips from Chew
I did a LOT of biking this weekend - from checking out the Assiniboine Park, to grabbing some great deals at the Academy Road Street Fair. I can't wait to show you what I got!
The Forks Market was also buzzing with so many activities, including the Makers Market hosted by Etsy Manitoba. I also tried the newest summer kiosk at the end of the Provencher Bridge called Le Monkey Bar. They sold refreshing drinks and treats, perfect for the warm and sunny weather over the weekend. 
Finally, I attended my first Pride Parade and it did not disappoint! From the colourful floats, to the extravagant outfits and more importantly, the unconditional acceptance and equality that enveloped the entire event, it was the perfect end to the glorious weekend I had.

The Pride Parade celebration was packed with the city's LGBT community!

Last but not the least, the Winnipeg Jazz Festival opening weekend was highly anticipated with its free concert series at the Exchange District. Because of this, most of the surrounding restaurants and shops have extended their hours to accommodate the additional people traffic
