Welcome to The West End Cultural Centre
The West End Cultural Centre is a venue where excellent art and music, representation, and inclusion all matter. We work hard to bring diverse, excellent music and shows to Winnipeg! We love connecting with artists, and bringing in shows we know our community will enjoy. The WECC is a registered charity and non-profit, and we are proud to offer free community programs and events, like Tune In free group music lessons, and The Ellice Street Festival.
All the people of The WECC - its staff, patrons, artists, and volunteers - are a community. A volunteer crew of over 200 Winnipeggers staff the shows, mend the fences, and do all kinds of essential things behind the scenes. We also have a great time doing all these things!
We offer a wide variety of shows throughout the year, and you, as always, are invited.
2025 Fall Season Announced
The WECC is like your favourite sweater: welcoming, warm, and real hip, all through the cozy sweater weather of our Manitoba fall.
Fall 2025 at The WECC means dancing, grooving, digital detoxing and more! Grab your coziest sweater and check out our outstanding lineup of folk, roots, rock, blues, alternative, experimental, holiday shows, and more! You are invited.
Season passes are once again available! The pass means a significant savings per show. New this season, the season pass has reduced fees! We’ve also got the 10, 5, and 3 show Punch Cards available, which can bring you, or you + guest to shows throughout the year. More on that below.
