Some downtown streets will be closed Sunday as members of Winnipeg’s Sikh community parade through the city’s core for the annual Nagar Kirtan procession.<\/p>\n

Nagar Kirtan is an annual celebration of the Sikh holy scripture, and includes a procession parading the Guru Granth Sahib, the religion’s holy book.<\/p>\n

The parade typically draws thousands to the city’s downtown.<\/p>\n

The celebration will begin at Memorial Park, across Broadway from the Manitoba Legislature, on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

The City of Winnipeg says these streets will be closed between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Sunday:\u00a0<\/p>\n
