There are so many new faces around here (thank you for the support!), so we thought it was time for a little “Did You Know?”
From humble beginnings to now! Did you know that The Cube was built in 2010, and MEME was the very first event to take place there?
The Cube is an open-air performance venue located in Old Market Square, the iconic green space and summer festival hub in Winnipeg’s historic Exchange District.
Every summer, The Cube serves as the free stage for MEME, hosting an incredible lineup of regional and international artists from around the globe.
