Osborne Village is located close to the confluence of Assiniboine and Red Rivers, and forms the dream neighborhood of many a Canadian.

Today, it has emerged as a major shopping destination, offering everything from jewelry showrooms and fashion boutiques to music and kitchenware stores. Culturally, it is not far behind either and it usually has violinists strumming popular tunes at street corners during touristy seasons.

Osborne Village is best known for its annual Canada Day Celebration, where you can find the best local food and art, live music events, and activities for both adults and kids.

Gastronomes will delight in the restaurants serving cuisines ranging from East Asian to French and American. The main attraction of this neighborhood is Colours of Corydon, a series of eight outdoor metal sculptures, each representing a European country.
