Dauphins Countryfest returns to the hill next weekend, but there are some changes to the weekend schedule you need to know about. President Ann Ransom says the weekend's starting off on Friday this year, with a special event on Thursday.
"So usually we start off on the Thursday but this year's a little bit different where the actual event starts on July first," said Ransom, "So it starts Friday, goes Saturday, and Sunday."
As a thank you to the fans that kept their tickets from 2020 instead of opting to return them, the CKDM Exclusive Thursday Night Kick-Off Party is taking place on June 30th. You can't buy tickets for Thursday's event, and the only way to get in is to already have a ticket or to win your ticket through 730 CKDM.
Countryfest is also still looking for volunteers for the whole weekend, and they have incentive programs to give back to groups that volunteer. You can find out more, as well as register to volunteer on the Countryfest website.
