The story

Dauphin's Countryfest in Dauphin

Dauphin's Countryfest turns Manitoba's Parkland region into a four-day country music campout each late June, run independently of the similarly styled Country Thunder Saskatchewan festival further west. A single mainstage lineup of country acts anchors the days, while a long-established on-site campground culture, with returning neighbors and familiar camping spots, gives the event its strong local identity.

Dauphin, a small city in Manitoba's Parkland region, hosts one of the Canadian Prairies' longest-running country music campouts each late June when Dauphin's Countryfest takes over its festival grounds for four days.
