Open Corydon Returns for Summer 2026

Open Corydon – Little Italy transforms one of Winnipeg's most popular entertainment districts into a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly destination every Sunday throughout the summer. From July 5 to September 6, 2026, a section of Corydon Avenue between Lilac Street and Daly Street is closed to vehicle traffic, creating more space for visitors to explore the neighbourhood on foot.

Dates: Sundays, July 5 – September 6, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM
Location: Corydon Avenue between Lilac Street and Daly Street, Winnipeg
Admission: Free

Food, Shopping & Street Festival Atmosphere

Visitors can stroll along the avenue while exploring expanded restaurant patios, unique local boutiques, pop-up experiences, public art installations, and the lively atmosphere that makes Winnipeg's Little Italy a favourite summer destination.

Whether you're planning a family outing, meeting friends for lunch, grabbing a gelato, or spending the afternoon exploring Winnipeg's vibrant food scene, Open Corydon offers something for everyone.

Enjoy Historic Little Italy

Known as Winnipeg's historic Little Italy, Corydon Avenue has long been a destination for patios, cafés, international cuisine, shopping, and people-watching. Open Corydon builds on that tradition by giving pedestrians the opportunity to experience the neighbourhood without vehicle traffic.

Throughout the summer, visitors can also enjoy free live music while spending a few hours—or the entire day—discovering the many restaurants, cafés, and local businesses along the avenue.
