It's back again! The City of Dauphin will be hosting their Canada Day Party in the Park. It'll be in CN Park from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Canada Day, which is a Wednesday this year.
Lisa Gaudet, Deputy City Manager, said they've made a few positive changes for the event's second year, including extending the time.
"This is the second year we've hosted the event, and we're excited to build on the success of last year's celebration, it's really about bringing people together to celebrate Canada Day in a fun, welcoming atmosphere, right here in Dauphin...last year's event was very well received, people enjoyed having a community gathering that was free, family-oriented, and accessible," said Gaudet.
The City has a few vendors and organizations lined up to have tables at the event, and they're still looking to book a food truck, though Gaudet expects that shouldn't take much longer to get.
"We're working on securing a food truck for the event, we have Sobr Market on site offering alcohol-free beverages, but we have the call out for a food truck, and we're hoping we'll be able to confirm that soon," said Gaudet.
If private parties are more your style, that's not a problem, unless you plan on lighting fireworks. Gaudet said if you're planning on lighting up the sky, you'll need a permit for that.
"If people want to have private Canada Day celebrations that involve fireworks, there is a permit that is required, so they would need to contact the Fire Department to be issued a permit for fireworks," said Gaudet.
Only a few weeks away now, Canada Day in Dauphin is already shaping up to be a fun evening for everyone in Dauphin.
