Organizers for Dauphin’s Countryfest have officially opened volunteer registration for the 2026 festival season in Dauphin, Manitoba. The call for help comes as the community prepares for the long-running music event, which relies on hundreds of local people to keep things running. This year, the festival will take place from June 25 to June 28, 2026, at the Selo Ukraina site.
There are many different roles available for those looking to get involved, including working at the gates, helping with parking, or serving at bars and token booths. The festival is also looking for people to assist with first aid and general event tasks. By starting the sign-up process in February, the organization hopes to have its full team ready well before the first crowds arrive for the four-day event.
The festival is run as a non-profit and plays a major role in supporting the local economy. It is estimated to bring in about $10 million in activity to the region each year. Additionally, the event contributes roughly $150,000 annually to local community organizations that help provide services during the weekend.
Big crowds are expected for the 2026 lineup, which features major country music stars like Jelly Roll, Nate Smith, and Tyler Hubbard. Organizers say that having enough volunteers is the only way to manage the thousands of fans who visit the area. Interested residents can find more information and sign up through the volunteer registration page.
