Stop
Before you gather your paint samples, Pinterest boards and fabric swatches to bring to the show, be sure to have your Winnipeg Renovation Show tickets in hand. Pro tip: save yourself $3 (and some time!) by buying your tickets online, courtesy of All Canadian Renovations Ltd.

Now that you’re set, find your way to the RBC Convention Centre (375 York Avenue, Winnipeg MB). If you’re bringing your car and planning to do some shopping, parking is available at the RBC Convention Centre Winnipeg Parkade for $10-$18 per car, or you can park at any of the nearby outdoor and indoor lots, as well as on metered spots on the adjacent streets. Check out the RBC Convention Centre Parking Information for more details, including price points and directions.
