With Countryfest wrapped up for another year, the focus out at the Selo site now turns to Canada's National Ukrainian Festival. 

The 60th edition of that festival goes August 1st to 3rd.

CNUF President Kayla Gillis says ticket sales have been extremely strong so far.

But if you are thinking of going to this year's festival, Gillis adds you should buy your tickets right away.

"July 30th, which is the Wednesday before the festival, the early-bird pricing ends.  It is $165 right now for a weekend pass.  And if you wait until the Thursday and Friday right before the festival, and buy your weekend pass at the gates, you will be paying $225 for the weekend.  So please, we can not stress enough to get your weekend passes in advance."  

Tickets are available at the festival office in the Dauphin Marketplace Mall, or online a www.cnuf.ca.
