First Annual aceartinc. Soapbox Derby at Ciclovia

The next big sports coup to hit the Peg after the Jets’ return- the city’s first annual Soapbox Derby!
Build a car or borrow something with wheels that someone can sit inside and is people-powered then race it down Broadway!
In conjunction with the race, we will be holding a raffle with over $1000 worth of goodies!
This is a fundraiser for your favourite artist-run centre, aceartinc., to help with our relocation and programming costs.

WHEN: 3-7pm, Sunday 11th September 2011
WHERE: Broadway, between Main Street and Fort as part of Ciclovia and ManyFest

What is ManyFest?
ManyFest (Formerly known as Lights on Broadway) is a weekend of festivals and family fun! Hosted by the Downtown Winnipeg BIZ, ManyFest 2011 will take place from September 9-11 on Broadway and will include a variety of exciting, all-inclusive events. Highlights will include an outdoor movie night, a dance party in the street, a wine and cheese festival, and of course, Ciclovia! The Ciclovia component of ManyFest takes place on Sunday, September 11. It is a free, eco-friendly, healthy-lifestyle festival and transportation initiative that will see Broadway closed from Osborne to Main Street, creating a network of car-free streets from Assiniboine Park all the way to The Forks! There will be bike shows, skateboard demonstrations, hockey tournaments, and Winnipeg’s First Annual Soap Box Derby, hosted by aceartinc.! For more information about ManyFest and Ciclovia, as well as a calender of events for the weekend, please visit http://www.downtownwinnipegbiz.com.
