Not much, according to the organizers of the Winnipeg BBQ and Blues Festival (winnipegbbqandblues.ca). This year's festival will take place Aug. 19 and 20 on Smith Street in front of the Burton Cummings Theatre. Creedence Clearwater Revisited and James Cotton will headline the list of musical acts which also includes Doucette, Tinsley Ellis Band and Big Dave McLean. One of the highlights of the weekend will be a barbecue competition featuring the top amateur and pro grillers competing for cash prizes. Fans of the modernism art movement will be sure to want to check out the WAG (wag.ca) this summer for an exhibition featuring the work of Russian-born artist Marc Chagall. Chagall has been hailed as a pioneer of modernism by no less an authority than Pablo Picasso. His exhibition, Chagall: Daphnis and Chloe, will continue until Sept. 11 as part of a show organized by the WAG and the National Gallery of Canada. The Winnipeg International Jazz Festival (jazzwinnipeg.com) continues through to June 26 and features some of the top names in jazz, indy, blues and R&B music from around the world. This year's acts include the likes of Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue, Peter Bjorn and John and the Legendary Downchild Blues Band performing at a collection of venues that includes the Burton Cummings Theatre, Rachel Browne Theatre, West End Cultural Centre and the Garrick Centre. If you prefer a more laid back vibe, check out the Soca Reggae Festival (socareggaefestival.ca), which runs July 8 to 10 at Old Market Square. The three- day festival is entering its 11th year and is billed as a weekend of fun and entertainment for the entire family. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights (humanrights.ca) is hosting Sight Unseen: International Photography by Blind Artists. It is the first exhibition of work by a host of acclaimed international blind photographers and explores the idea that blind people can often see in ways that sighted people cannot. It features photos by artists with various degrees of vision loss who use different technologies and creative methods to define what they see. Want to chill out when it gets too hot to handle outside? Check out Lounge Thursdays at Thermea Nordik Spa (thermea.ca).
