It is claimed to be the largest winter festival in western Canada. The temperature was not low enough. So the snow sculptures seemed dirty and off white. From Wiki.."The Festival du Voyageur (literally translated as Festival of the Traveller) is an annual 10-day winter festival which takes place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada during February. "Voyageur" refers to those who worked for a fur trading company and usually travelled by canoe. This event is held in Winnipeg's French Quarter, Saint-Boniface, and is Western Canada's largest winter festival. The event celebrates Canada's fur trading past and her unique French heritage and culture through entertainment, arts and crafts, music, exhibits and displays."
