Bikes, statues, art, song, and basic income were on display this weekend in Dauphin.
Culture Days was well attended with activities going on from Thursday to Sunday.
We caught up with Jean-Louis Guillas, an organizer for Culture Days, during Yard Fringe and he shared how the weekend went.
“I think it’s our best year yet. We added more events we had an excellent evening last night with A Little Drama Between Friends. It’s great to have a new partner with Mr. Mike’s. our pop up art galleries around town, businesses have been very open to supporting that and highlighting the work of some local artists. Yard Fringe is great. We’re having a great time.”
Guillas says they played into this year’s theme with some Dauphin flair.
“We’ve played along with the national theme of “On Beat” but here in Dauphin, we’re going beet style. We’re having great borscht soup.”
“We’ve had some fun, we’ve had some hands-on activities, and we’re having a great lunch here at Fort Dauphin Museum.”
It wrapped up yesterday with a theatre filled with people coming to watch four films during Dauphin Culture Days Film Fest “The Manitoba Story: A Basic Income film” had its premiere at 1:30 in the afternoon.
