Who is the Frontier?
We are a Winnipeg & La Broquerie based non-profit with events across South Eastern Manitoba.
Frontier Events was forged from a passion to create exciting, high quality, live action experiences. After running events for 6 years as a hobby we decided it was time to take things to the next level. We wanted to go above and beyond and build authentic and highly immersive worlds that you can delve into, delivered with a level of professionalism and attention to detail that we were unable to achieve while operating as a hobby group.
In 2023 we delved into kids programming with the goal of bringing active alternatives to gamers, nerds, and those not involved in conventional sports through the genres of fantasy and science fiction.
Core Values
Whether you’re attending one of our events or hiring us to come out to yours you can expect a professional quality in both our team and our equipment.
One of the greatest parts of LARP is the sense of community that is built. The Frontier is a place for people of all walks of life to come together.
At the end of the day LARP is entertainment and we will do our best to ensure you have a one in a kind exciting experience that will keep you coming back time and time again.
