Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival weekend is almost upon, but before all of the cultural celebrations take place at Selo Ukraina, the annual Parkland Chamber of Commerce Street Fair is set to bring a section of First Avenue North West to life on Aug. 3.

The kickoff to the August long weekend gets underway at 8 a.m. with a pancake breakfast and wraps up at midnight following a street dance.

And in between those two bookends there is no shortage of things to do.

Entertainment from local performers run all day on the outdoor stage. Further down the street family-friendly fun activities, such as face painting, bouncy toys and a dunk tank will keep you entertained, as will a display of antique farm implements courtesy of the Dauphin Agricultural Heritage Club and a plethora of shopping opportunities for those with a little money burning a hole in their pockets.

Great food is available when you need to refuel from all of the fun happening and an outdoor beer garden is stocked with cooling beverages.

Call the Parkland Chamber of Commerce office at 204-622-3140 for more details on the day and how to get involved.
