Culture Days returns to Dauphin today with some new, and returning activities.
The month-long event raises the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities.
Jean-Louis Guillas, Chairperson and Coordinator with Culture Days says there are more than a handful of events in Dauphin this year:
"Well, we have eight different events planned over the month. It starts September 24th and goes until October 24th."
Guilas added that there will be events all over the city, including something brand new:
"This Saturday, we have a new event, we're calling it 'Yardfest' and it's two separate backyard concerts starting at 5 p.m. with the Johnny Pacey Jazz Trio, and then at 6 p.m. a band called Whiskey Kiss will be playing in their backyard."
He also said that Yardfringe is back this year and he says that this year, it's the event that you can't miss:
"If you meet us at the Watson at one, we'll give you a map and show you the route map and you can just join us at the various locations throughout town. That event is not to be missed, it really is a lot of fun."
Guilas is encouraging people of all ages to come out this weekend and have fun.
