The Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose are inviting fans to celebrate the return of hockey with their annual Fan Fest, scheduled for Saturday, September 20 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at hockey for all centre.. The free event has become a tradition in Winnipeg, giving fans of all ages a chance to connect with their favorite teams before the puck officially drops on the 2025–26 season.

Starting Wednesday, August 27 at 10 a.m., fans can reserve up to eight mobile tickets per order at winnipegjets.com/fanfest. While admission is free, a ticket will be required for entry.

One of the main attractions will be open access to Winnipeg Jets Training Camp. Fans will get their first glimpse at the roster for the upcoming season, including new signings, familiar faces, and prospects working to make an impression. Two on-ice sessions will be held, with seating available on a first-come, first-served basis. Those who miss out on the first skate will have the opportunity to line up again for the second.

Off the ice, Fan Fest will offer plenty of entertainment. Q&A sessions with players, coaches, and team personnel will take place throughout the day, giving fans the chance to hear directly from those inside the organization. Autograph sessions with Jets alumni will also be available, along with photo opportunities and interactive games.

The family-friendly event will be packed with activities for all ages. Younger fans can enjoy inflatables and a multi-age ball hockey rink, while the Royal Canadian Air Force activation promises to be a unique highlight. Fans looking to gear up for the new season can browse the annual Jets Gear sale or try their luck at winning team memorabilia.

Food options will include $5 Jet Dogs, indoor concessions, and a variety of local food trucks stationed outside the arena. Free parking will be available at the Assiniboia Downs lot, making it easy for fans to spend the day enjoying everything Fan Fest has to offer.
