A constant energy of lively music and festive charm known to Brandon makes the city an entertaining Canadian vacation stop. Not uncommonly, visitors to Brandon Manitoba will hear the expression “Westman”, Brandon’s second name, pertaining to Brandon’s location in the South Western Region of Manitoba.
The aptly named “Westman” city is an agriculture hub within Manitoba’s provincial boundaries and boasts annual events and festivals such as; the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba, the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair (March), the Manitoba Summer Fair (June), the Manitoba Livestock Expo (November), AgDays (January, is Canada's largest indoor Agricultural Trade Show and Program), and the Brandon Folk Music and Arts Festival (late July). Along with a rich arts community, visitors can also partake in the Brandon Festival of the Arts (February - March), the Brandon Jazz Festival, the Lieutenant Governors Winter Festival (February, a celebration of the city’s multi-culturalism), local theatre and school performances, and the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba. Blend in the lively nightlife dinning and clubs and visitors get in the home-grown Brandon energy! The grass roots feel of agriculture brings to mind the long horizons, great golf courses, and camping opportunities for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
