In case you haven’t noticed, there’s an awesome photography festival in Winnipeg and it’s happening right now!

The Flash Photographic Festival 2015 is on, and we’re lucky enough to feast our eyes on the fantastic photographic skill that’s bursting out of this city!

There’s a handful of excellent downtown exhibits (and a bunch more in the Exchange District!) that you MUST check out before they’re gone – and on the plus side, they’re in some of the hippest and most delicious downtown digs to boot.

Also, don’t forget to check out the #finditdowntown exhibit, compiled by a bunch of talented photographers, and showcased at Portage Place, in a storefront near the fountain (and Staples). You’ll find our downtown is pretty photogenic, and you might just want to follow @finditdowntown on Instagram to grab a peek at what else is out there and catch the wrap-up party at Fools & Horses Coffee Co. on November 7!
