Festivals & Events

Welcome to the city of festivals! With the longest running country music festival in Canada and the Dauphin Fair, which began in 1891, Dauphin is well known for its first class festivals and events hosted year-round. These diverse happenings are brought to life by dedicated volunteers celebrating each season with music, dance, food, fun and lots of activity.

Each month offers an opportunity to share in the heart of what makes Dauphin a great place to live. The fun can range from various community celebrations such as the Kinsmen Business Expo and the Chamber of Commerce Street Fair. There are heritage activities to attend, from Threshing Day to the Fur Traders Rendezvous.

Celebrate each season in Dauphin by joining us at the Uncle Bob’s Family Fishing Day in June, Dauphin's Christian Music Festival in July or the WinterLights Celebrations from November to March. Dauphin is an active community with both the Rona MS Bike Tour and Parkland Amazing Race in September.

Dauphin has a long history of honouring its colourful community with a variety of festival and events. Diverse nature-based attractions, rich culture and history, along with world-class festivals define Dauphin as a prime year-round destination.
