Based on ongoing consultations with the Province of Manitoba, Dauphin’s Countryfest has made the difficult decision to postpone the 2021 festival to 2022.
“Planning the festival takes well over a year from preparing the site to be home to over 10,000 patrons to coordinating over 1300 volunteers” said President Ann Ransom. “The uncertainty of the right COVID-19 protocols to have in place to ensure the safety of festival goers, just leaves us with no choice but to hold off on welcoming everyone back to the hill this summer.” “Dauphin’s Countryfest has a significant economic impact to the business and volunteer community. We have a responsibility to Dauphin, and the surrounding communities, to bring the festival back in 2022.” said Ransom. “The board and staff are excitedly making big plans for July 1 – 3, 2022.”
