June 26 - June 29, 2025 (Dauphin, Manitoba, Canada)
Incorporated in 1991 as a not-for-profit organization, Dauphin's Countryfest has experienced tremendous growth and success in its lifetime, currently having an economic impact of $10 million to the region. Today, a 12 member volunteer board of Directors, three permanent staff and a contracted promoter/producer plan and deliver the four day camping festival which occurs annually on the July long weekend.

​With 14,000 attendees per day and over 4,000 campsites, this festival has surpassed all expectations. Community groups and service clubs earn over $150,000 annually, and provide over 2,000 volunteers who do everything from collecting garbage to serving beverages and attending the gates at the festival. Once the festival site debt was retired, Countryfest invested a further $3 million in site improvements, ranging from seating to campgrounds to stages. In addition, the festival has provided grants of over $1 million to community projects, helping to build a pool, an arena, a movie theatre and providing generous support to Dauphin's Community Foundation through the Neil Peterson Countryfest Post Secondary Scholarship in Music Education.

Today, Dauphin's Countryfest maintains its status as Canada's longest running country music festival. This not-for-profit music festival is different than any other..... It was built by the community for the community. The success of the festival belongs to all of the volunteers who dedicate their time and energy, year after year, to putting on this first class event.
