Goodness Gracious, It's Christmas.
On Saturday, December 20, Jake Vaadeland and the Sturgeon River Boys are ringing in the Christmas season in style at the Watson Art Centre. Dauphin's Countryfest announced a special concert on Wednesday morning.
Jake returns to Dauphin with festive cheer, classics like Jingle Bell Rock, and brand-new music from his upcoming Christmas album. The Sturgeon River Boys bring high-spirited energy. Put it all together, and it will be a night to remember in Dauphin.
Duane McMaster is president of Dauphin's Countryfest.
"They have been here a few times before, and have always been very popular," said McMaster. "It's a way to show that Countryfest is still around, and to get some excitement. Some people have been worried. This is a way to show that we're still here, doing our thing, and bringing live music to Dauphin."
McMaster says it's the perfect kick-off to the holiday season.
"It really is. It's a unique sound and a ton of fun," offered McMaster. "It's a good way to get out. The whole family will enjoy the show."
Tickets are now on sale here.
In case you missed it, Dauphin's Countryfest announced the dates for their 2026 festival. It'll take place from June 25 to 28.
"We do anticipate making an artist announcement in the very near future. In the next week or two, if everything works out," continued McMaster. "Despite what you heard, we are still going ahead next year. It'll be the 37th year of Countryfest, and we're hoping that it will be the best one ever."
Dauphin's Countryfest is for you. McMaster and his crew take great pride in bringing live music to you.
"There are 12 of us sitting around the table. We all volunteer a lot of time and put in a lot of energy to make this event happen," ended McMaster. "We think it's a fantastic event, and it's great for our community. We are so thrilled we can continue to move forward, and we want to keep going for years and years to come."
