Canada's National Ukrainian Festival is set to return from August 4 to 6 just south of Dauphin and preparations are well underway.
CNUF President, Kayla Gillis joined Alex DeVries on Monday morning to share some exciting news as the Ukrainian Shumka Dancers from Edmonton will be the highlight show on Saturday evening.
"We are thrilled to be bringing this group in," said Gillis. "They haven't been here since our 45th show so we're very excited to have them. We're not doing the 'Sunday Extravaganza', we're moving it to Saturday."
Early bird tickets for next year's event go on sale this Wednesday and a weekend pass is just $110. Camping will also be on sale. Day passes will go on sale in the next couple of months.
CNUF will also be hosting 'Ukrainian Night' at the Dauphin Kings game on January 27. The annual event is always a sellout and Gillis says she's looking forward to this year being the same.
"Book that day, it's a Friday evening, we're going to have a really good time," ended Gillis.
