It is seen by many as the unofficial kickoff to Ukrainian Festival weekend in Dauphin.
The annual Parkland Chamber Street Fair and Dance is set for Thursday, August 1st along 1st Avenue North West.
The day begins with a pancake breakfast at 7 am, and continues until the final performers exit the stage at midnight.
Chamber Executive Director Stephen Chychota says one significant change for this year will be the location of the performance stage.
"We are not going to be on the street anymore. We are going to be right in the (CN) Park, so we are really excited about having a different platform and a different layout for that. We are also really excited to bring back the Kids Zone, and our partner for that this year is McDonald's. The McDonalds Kids Zone is coming out with a new layout and some really neat features."
Chychota adds the new location and setup for the stage will give them more room for vendors and food trucks along the street.
"Now that we do not have that Countryfest stage hanging out there anymore. It has been helpful and thank you to Countryfest for having that stage for us to use for the previous years, but that trailer has moved on to bigger and better things and we do not have access to it anymore. So we will be working with the platforms that we get from (DRS). And also for the bands they will be at different points during the day hanging out in a bit more shade inside of taking it all in in that trailer."
There is no cost to attend the street fair.
A reminder though that First Avenue NorthWest will be closed that entire day to vehicle traffic from Main Street to the Watson Arts Centre.
