This Wednesday is the deadline to purchase early bird passes for this year's Canada  National Ukrainian Festival.

Festival president Kayla Gillis says ticket sales have been strong so far.

"Upper camping is about half sold out already, so if you have not got your camping spot so far, please do that as well too.  Last year we sold out by May.  So be sure to get your camping spots as well too otherwise you might have to camp in the lower bowl."

Weekend passes are $125 each until Wednesday, but will go up in price after that day.

Gillis adds the list of bands performing at this year's festival has also been finalized.

"Dauphin's own Party Time Orchestra will be joining us.  We also have Sloohai coming out of Winnipeg.  We have by request Budmo, and then we have two new bands that have never been to our festival before.  They are both out of Saskatoon - one of them is called Across the Ocean, and the other one is the Ukrainian Connection band." 

The festival goes from August 2nd to 4th at the Selo Ukraina site.

Tickets are available at the festival office on 3rd Avenue North East or online at www.cnuf.ca.
