(Winnipeg, MB: January 26, 2023) – FROSTBYTE is a one-of-a-kind fundraising event & experience being presented by Science First in collaboration with MEMETIC to raise funds supporting the World Water Day youth conference at the Manitoba Museum on March 22. The fundraiser party will take place at the RAW:almond event space at The Forks located on the frozen Red & Assiniboine Rivers in Winnipeg on February 5, 2023. Frostbyte runs 5 pm – 11 pm and tickets can be purchased for $99 each plus fees at www.memetic.ca/tickets.
FROSTBYTE will feature local visual artist & VJ Jabez Lee showcasing his custom designed and immersive projection mapped visuals within the interior of the latest edition of RAW:almond along with some of Canada’s best cutting edge electronic music artists playing a range of cinematic dubby beats and futuristic dancefloor oriented house & tech house. FROSTBYTE is imagined as a lounge & reception type of experience with a mixture of seating, standing and a dancefloor area (bring your dancing shoes!). Ticket holders will be able to enjoy locally inspired craft cocktails & drinks with top shelf bartenders mixing and serving drinks from Winnipeg’s Patent 5 Distillery along with a beer selection from Little Brown Jug. As opposed to the familiar sit down meal this space is known for, FROSTBYTE will include a specially selected variety of hors d’oeuvres served throughout the event to provide some delicious bites of food to accompany the visuals, music and dancing. FROSTBYTE will create a temporary artistic multimedia nightclub experience inside of this incredibly unique space – all for a great local initiative.

Teachers will be able to sign up full classrooms or smaller groups of students to attend World Water Day beginning on February 1st, 2023.
