Hey Parkland! We are stoked to be bringing in The Haileys out of Winnipeg. This all female group (yes, they ARE ALL named Hailey!) will blow you away. And with it being the last show of the tour you know they are gonna be going all out!

You can catch them at Dauphin's Countryfest Thursday night as well but if you want up close and personal, be there in the Firehall on July 18th!

Plus, we have 2 young opening bands The Wet Towels and Red Lemon to kick start the party.

Details coming soon but put it in your phone today!

Give me a band aid, an advil, a TOUR?! 🔪❤️‍🩹 Be our guest as we head west, cause we're bringing our best and putting Paper Cut to the test ;)

Stay tuned for tickets 💙 & come see our FREE tour kick-off !

Check out the new stage we have! It’s multi-use, has 6 modules that can be all the same height or 2 different heights.

Drum risers, choir risers, inside, outside it’s portable and multi-use!

We appreciate all the support we’ve received from the Dauphin & District Community Foundation!

It gets its first public use tonight at the Theatre on the Edge Improv event tonight.

The DDCF is happy to support the Watson Art Centre. Shown here are members of the Chris Barker Band who volunteer their time to host the Open Mic Series as well as the Wet Towels who often perform at Open Mic.

This portable stage will be used in the Firehall and around the Watson in various capacities.

We look forward to seeing it being used for many years to come!

Check this out. We found these old mugs at the Watson. Anyone wanna guess how old they are? Does anyone else have one of these mugs? So we could be mug buddies?
