The Winnipeg Folk Festival may be over for the year, but its sounds will carry on in Old Market Square.
Every Wednesday, free noon-hour concerts on the Cube stage will provide entertainment for those chowing down on their lunch.
A different local restaurant will offer diners a 10% discount every Wednesday if they mention they’re attending Folk Festival Wednesdays. The offer runs from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
