What to even say. We had a super successful 2026 Winkler Harvest Festival
I am beyond grateful for the City of Winkler trust and for the opportunity to manage this event as well as sell the sponsorships for it. This is our biggest event of the year and it is worth every ounce of sweat.
This was obviously my favorite festival yet....guys I wore a track suit! And it wasn't black lol that's serious
There are so many people to thank. If I overlook you, please know, I (Karina) am still running on limited hours of sleep ha ha so I am sorry!
Thank you to my kids dombueckert Seoyoung Hwang at Neeto Studio and Katie Mae Bueckert as well as my partner Pranay Bhatnagar and of course Nathan and Aiden Friesen at airborneamusements and Bhryden Doherty at Concerts On Request for being so willing to do things as needed throughout the full week, no matter the hour. You guys make this so worth it
Thank you to all the amazing business owners who stepped in to manage so many different parts of the festival!

When I say it takes a village, trust me, it takes a village...and this village is always growing.
We had so many volunteers throughout the weekend helping out.
Notes: photo 1 was taken Monday at 1;30 am after we were debriefing from the weekend, yes we are that tired. Ha ha
Please do not do what Dom and Katie do in the photos. I was unaware until it was done.
Thank you Chris Unrau for the photos of our event! Seriously appreciate this!
Thank you to the Winkler Police Service for helping us with traffic control and flow after the fireworks and throughout the weekend as needed
Thank you to the Sponsors who make these events happen. It wouldn't happen without your financial and in kind support (I will share those details later yet when I have a full list in front of me!)
Thank you to everyone who messaged and checked in on us, we are so grateful for all of you.
Thank you ❤️
