The Niverville Olde Tyme Country Fair has announced its main stage concert lineup for June 12 and 13, 2026, featuring five musical acts in Niverville, Manitoba. The event will showcase a mix of rock, country, and folk music to mark the 30th anniversary of the fair in its current form.
Canadian rock band The Trews and JUNO Award-winning country trio The Washboard Union are the headlining acts, with both scheduled to take the stage at 9:30 PM. Niverville-born Métis country singer Catie St. Germain will perform at 8:00 PM, returning to her hometown after singing the national anthem at the 2025 Grey Cup. The evening schedule also includes 90s grunge tribute band GenX at 7:30 PM and folk rock group Club Wagon Creek at 6:30 PM.
The fair is a long-standing community tradition run by local volunteers and supported by area businesses. It serves as a major attraction for Niverville, which is currently the fastest-growing community in the province. The town saw a 29 per cent population increase between 2016 and 2021, making it the 10th-largest community in Manitoba.
The featured performers bring several recent successes to the stage, including The Trews’ recent number one hit on Canadian rock radio and a new record expected from The Washboard Union in the summer of 2026. St. Germain, the granddaughter of the late Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame member Ray St. Germain, was recently nominated for seven Manitoba Country Music Association awards. The fair will open its gates on Friday evening with full programming continuing through Saturday.
