Join the Party
It doesn’t take much to get a party started in Manitoba during the summer. And with zero-proof options, they can happen anytime, anywhere and with anyone.
So come on, Manitoba! Summer doesn’t last forever. There’s a party nearby and in true Manitoba fashion, everyone’s invited. Let’s soak up the sun and make those memories of karaoke nights, lazy rivers, cabin weekends and music festivals last.
Summertime means party time, and everyone’s invited!
Here’s a few simple tips to make your party more inclusive:
- Keep staple mocktail ingredients stocked (think soda water, lime or cranberry).
- We love a good drinking game, (zero-proof beer pong, anyone?) but often, drinking games can make people feel pressured to drink, so switch things up with a board game or dance floor!
- Have a feature mocktail alongside a feature cocktail.
- No questions asked. In friendly Manitoba, everyone is welcome to Join the Party, however they choose to participate!
