Fusion Fest is Manitoba’s newest outdoor summer festival. An all ages show combining metal/punk music, art and people. Hosted at beautiful Hilltop Resort, just 45 minutes north of the city on highway 59. Hilltop offers camping sites both serviced and non-serviced, a private beach with volleyball, a restaurant and bar as well as two stages. Hot showers are also available.
Fusion Fest will provide two days of amazing local and headlining talent across both stages, as well as an artisan market with multiple local shops, food trucks for variety and daily work shops where you can learn everything from body painting to cajon drumming.
Entertainment will include fireworks, a burlesque show, go-go and fire dancers. In the spirit of giving, our (anti)social will raise money for the Suzuki Music of Winnipeg’s Endowment Fund and our pancake breakfast will support metal health initiatives across our community.
On site, you will find a chill tent if you just simply need a break, a first aid tent, harm reduction tent, security and an enviro-crew to keep everything tidy.
All the workings of a safe and fun festival experience.
