“We expect that Friday is going to be another spectacular Winnipeg Whiteout Street Party,” said Dayna Spiring, president and CEO of Economic Development Winnipeg. The agency is co-hosting the street parties in co-ordination with True North Sports & Entertainment, which owns and operates the Winnipeg Jets and Bell MTS Place.

“I’m excited and I’m sure there’s a number of Winnipeggers that want to be a part of it.”

The post Winnipeg Whiteout Street Party expand onto Graham Avenue for Game 5 Jets-Wild Playoff Series appeared first on When In Winnipeg (YWG).

The Minnesota Wild will be in for a not-so-welcome atmosphere as the “White Out” Winnipeg Jets theme will dominate not just the whole Bell MTS stadium but the whole Winnipeg. People are excited even though the Spring Weather is not cooperative and Minnesota Wild should be scared now.

City of Winnipeg and True North is sponsoring a Winnipeg Jets White Out Street Party. If you have an ample time and wanted to watch Game 1 between the Jets and Wild, you should read the following lists of things you should know about the street party.
