Energetic Community, Unforgettable Location
In 2025, Graham Avenue is transforming into a vibrant pedestrian-focused destination in the heart of Downtown Winnipeg. Based on community feedback from 2023 and 2024, a four-block stretch between Carlton Street and Garry Street will feature murals supported by the Bloomberg Philanthropies Asphalt Art Initiative, artistic lighting, planters, custom-built seating, and interactive spaces.
Launching in June 2025, the placemaking pilot will bring patios, markets, and festival areas, including the Canadian Elite Basketball League’s 2025 Championship Weekend (CW25) in August. With rotating art installations and community events throughout Summer 2025, Graham Avenue is set to become one of Winnipeg’s signature gathering places.
