RUTH BONNEVILLE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS LOCAL / ENT - FdV President of the Festival du Voyageur Board of Directors, Natalie Thiesen has some fun outside the music box while dancing with volunteers during the launch of the 2022 festival on Thursday. The Festival du Voyageur unveils its Music Box, the Boite de chansons at Whittier Park. At the festival kickoff presser, musicians played inside the music box, which is a trailer that has a band inside separated by glass, to perform for the audience outside. It's partially a COVID-19 protection shield, but also helps when it's cold because band can have electronic difficulty in cold weather. See Small story. Feb 17th, 2022
