For the past couple of years, Dauphin's Countryfest has been giving away free Thursday day passes for graduating high school students.
This year, there will be no day passes as only weekend passes are available. For you graduating students, don't worry, Dauphin's Countryfest is still thinking about you. If you're set to graduate from high school this year, you can get a graduate-exclusive pass for $309 plus taxes and fees.
Tier one and two general weekend passes have already sold out. That means graduates can save $60 on tier three prices, which are currently $369 plus taxes and fees.
"We still wanted to do something to encourage the graduates and give them a little break to come out," said McMaster. "We came up with this promotion to go back and offer our tier one pricing for graduates, even though they technically missed out on that price."
If you are an upcoming graduate looking to take advantage of this sweet deal, you must call 622-3700 or head to the office at 28 - 2nd Avenue NE. This option is not available online and will be available until June 1.
The 2026 festival features a stacked lineup including Jelly Roll, Nate Smith, Tyler Hubbard, Brett Kissel, and the Hunter Brothers, to name a few.
"We're going to be announcing right away the rest of the lineup for the event," added McMaster. "I know people are looking forward to finding out the rest of the lineup."
The final lineup will be announced on Friday, and you can hear it here on 730CKDM on the Alec Woolston Morning Show.
For non-graduates looking to get in on the party of the summer, tier three tickets can be purchased here.
"You know what, I think it's about getting together with friends and celebrating country music," ended McMaster. "Having a great time and making memories."
