Thousands of Winnipeggers took in the 105th annual parade, many lining up curbside along Portage Avenue before 4 p.m.
CBC Information Radio host Marcy Markusa and resident meteorologist John Sauder gave away noise-makers, toques, mitts and seat warmers between 4 p.m. and when the show got underway at 5 p.m.
Many Winnipegger's arrived early to take part in a variety of children’s games and activities, along with curling fun with CBC’s Trevor Dineen and Terry MacLeod.
Curl Manitoba co-hosted CBC's seating block this year, bringing along Olympic gold medallist Jennifer Jones for the show. CBC's Janet Stewart had an exclusive interview with them and Team Jones right before the parade began.
