18th annual Dauphin Street Fair and Dance is taking place today.
The fair is the kick off to Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival!
Stephen Chychota, the Executive Director for the Dauphin and District Chamber of Commerce says you shouldn’t miss it.
“People should check out EVERYTHING! Come check out downtown Dauphin, because we’ve got vendors, we’ve got food vendors, we’ve got a kids section, we’ve got ag heritage set up, a bunch of relics. We’ve got live entertainment, local people on stage all day. So we got them started at 10 in the morning and they are going to be up there until midnight tonight.”
Getting around Dauphin is a little tricky. The city has put up no parking signs all around the affected streets. Chychota gives some tips for those heading to the fair needing to find a parking spot.
“A little bit crazy with parking just because we are taking up such a big area of downtown. But, there are some locations around the area, there are some parking lots that people could take advantage of. Also be mindful of, kind of your time limits when you’re parking out on the street and where you are.” He continues, “Ya, there are some parking spots that are available kind of in the area. One of the best ones would be the City of Dauphin parking lot by the chiropractic centre.”
The street fair is taking place from 8 in the morning till 12 tonight with the beer gardens opening at 5.
