The Niverville Olde Tyme Country Fair, one of the largest fairs of its kind in the province, will take over Main Street for its annual weekend-long street festival on June 10–11. In 2015, the fair celebrated its twentieth anniversary.
“The biggest year would have been 15,000 people over the course of the weekend,” says Dustin Krahn, who serves as Promotions and Sponsor-ship Coordinator for the Fair Committee.
Many world-renowned artists have taken the stage in Niverville, including Dean Brody, Tim Hicks, Brett Kissel, and Emerson Drive.
This year, the fair will be welcoming another big name in the Canadian country music scene. Though the planning committee has already booked several acts, final announcements have not yet been made.
Other prominent acts have included Xtreme Motocross, the Freestyle Sportbike Stunt Team, and Full Metal Jousting. Wondershows Midway provides an impressive combination of rides, games, and concessions.
More than 300 people volunteer their time every year to bring the fair to life, and the support of local business is no less critical.
Tickets for the 2016 Niverville Olde Tyme Country Fair go on sale May 1.
