Canada's National Ukrainian Festival (CNUF) is right around the corner.
The annual festival will again take place just south of Dauphin during the August Long weekend. Ahead of that, CNUF will be hosting a kick-off party this Saturday, June 8. The party begins at 5:00 p.m. and takes place at Obsolete Brewing Company.
It will include live music, dancing, raffle prizes, food, and merchandise. You can even win weekend passes to CNUF by just being in attendance. The party is open to everyone and is expected to be an incredible evening to get everyone set up for the festival.
When it comes to preparing for the 2024 festival, Gillis says things are going very well.
"We are set to go, all entertainment is booked, and full schedules will be out next month," said Gillis. "Ticket sales are going fantastic. We're ready to go, it's going to be another incredible festival."
Taking place August 2 to 4, the three-day event is extremely affordable with a weekend pass costing just $150, which gets you into every grandstand show all weekend. You can also get a Friday pass for just $60, while day passes for Saturday and Sunday are $70 apiece.
Camping passes are also available and can be purchased at CNUF Tickets 2024.
"It is one big family at CNUF, you need to come and be a part of it," ended Gillis. "Regardless of what your background is, it is phenomenal how everyone comes out to support and have a great time. If you have never been before, make it a part of your summer plans this year."
