Teghan's top 5 things to do this weekend in and near Winnipeg (July 14-16)

This weekend has very good music, comedy, art, beer and a patently strange family festival, which is basically all I ever ask for when I'm writing this column.

The party to dress cute for this weekend is happening at Clementine Friday night, the low-key show to go to with all your good friends is at Wee Johnny's, and the thing to go to with your cousin who is in from out of town is at Barn Hammer's brewery.

There's also a brilliant art show in St. Boniface, and if you feel like a drive, a festival for the whole family in St-Pierre-Jolys. As long as you're cool with frogs.

Your last chance to check out Synonym's Triple Feature shows is this Friday.
