It's a big weekend as Canada's National Ukrainian Festival and Rockin' the Fields of Minnedosa both take place.
Ahead of both, however, the spotlight is set to shine on downtown Dauphin. The Parkland Chamber of Commerce is excited to host another 'Street Fair' in front of the Watson Art Centre and CN Park.
Beginning at 7 a.m. and running until midnight, the one-day event has something for everyone and this includes plenty of opportunities to see and chat with Stephen Chychota who is the president of the Parkland Chamber.
"I think it's safe to say that everyone is extremely excited," said Chychota. "Super thrilled about this event year after year. The Street Fair is the community event that everyone in the community gets excited about it."
Opening with the Al Morning Show on 730 CKDM, the day features tons of local entertainment, there will be a kids zone, plenty of vendors for your food needs and there is always a beer vendor to quench your thirst as the day rolls on.
The list of performers includes Owen Anderson of Ste. Rose, PTO, Bratsva & Zirka Dance, School of Rock Regina, and Kate's Outlaw wrap up the evening starting at 11. There is also the Fort Dauphin Museum's pancake breakfast at 7 a.m. on Thursday and there will be a maker's market put on by Economic Development & Tourism Dauphin.
"There is an element for everyone to enjoy," offered Chychota. "We have RCMP 150 helping us out with the kid's zone so there will be some really great features. From the pancake breakfast to the live entertainment, there is something for everyone."
If you are driving, the street in front of the Watson and CN Park will be closed all day and evening; however, there is parking on 2nd Ave NE by Dauphin Chiropractic Centre and 2nd Street & 1st Ave which is the old liquor mart parking lot.
