Mother’s Day in Winnipeg
It can be tough coming up with unique ideas to celebrate the most important woman in your life. Here’s a cheat sheet to help you pass the test:
High tea at Fort Gibraltar
Kick it old-school on Mother’s Day at one of Winnipeg’s most iconic landmarks, Fort Gibraltar. Tea will be served from 10AM to 2PM on Sunday May 12, and will feature three courses of snacks with tea pairings. Delectables and doilies — what more could a mom want on Mother’s Day?
Backyard BBQ
The weather is warming up in Winnipeg, so why not head outdoors for a Mother’s Day barbecue? Cook up some burgers and dogs, or search out some of your mom’s favorite BBQ foods and invite the whole family over. Or, if you don’t want people invading your space, head over to Assiniboine or Kildonan Park and have your cookout there.
Take mom to a comedy show
Winnipeg's own Emmanuel Lomuro
Sit back and laugh your you-know-what off at a stand-up comedy show here at Rumor’s Comedy Club. Our menu offers a wide range of food items and beverages, both hard and non-alcoholic. And the entertainment? It’s world class!
If you’re the type of family who doesn’t need to celebrate right on the day, you can take advantage of some of our great deals like our Early Burg special on Wednesdays, our Two-for-One Tuesday deal, or even our Thursday Date Night package.
We’re open every week from Tuesday to Saturday, so if you still want to do Mother’s Day brunch with mom on Sunday, you can!
Mother’s Day brunch
Clementine Cafe
Speaking of which, why not book a spot at a nice brunch spot for your matriarch. We highly recommend Clementine, located in the heart of the Exchange District, but Winnipeg has one of the highest restaurants per capita in the country, so you’ll definitely be able to find something tasty.
Baby Bison Walk at Fort Whyte Alive
Celebrate Mother’s Day by celebrating new mothers. You’ll see Fort Whyte’s herd of bison in all their glory, including the newest and cutest additions. This is maybe the most Manitoban Mother’s Day idea of all-time!
Have a day at the spa
Pocca Poca Japanese Detox Spa
What better day for a relaxing massage and a sauna than Mother’s Day? There are a number of great spas in Winnipeg to choose from, including Thermea, Pocca Poca Japanese Detox Spa, and Riverstone Spa at the Inn at the Forks.
Get a mani/pedi
Nails 4 You
Your mom worked her fingers to the bone and got blisters on her feet raising you. So, it’s time to return the favor by going for a mani/pedi at your preferred nail bar. If you want to kick it up a notch, check out Nails 4 You on Regent Ave., which offers an upscale atmosphere and cocktails.
