The Forks is a historic site and meeting place in
downtown Winnipeg located at the
confluence of the
Red River and
Assiniboine River. You may reach it by boat or by road. The main floor contains mostly food shops, where specialty items can be found as well as fresh fruit and vegetables. The second floor is home to many ethnic shops, as well as a ballet conservatory and a large craft store among other things. Across the large courtyard you may find Johnson Terminal, home of Finn Mccues pub and billiards, an Old Spaghetti Factory, more shops and a large antique store in the basement. There are often buskers in and around the Forks, who must audition for a buskers license to perform there.
