Culture Days is our annual celebration of arts and culture in Dauphin. Each of the events has a participatory or behind-the-scenes element that helps you learn about the art being showcased. Everyone has a creative spark inside us, and Culture Days is the time to give it some air.

Dauphin’s wide range of events has featured our growing maker community, potters, painters, musicians, dancers, actors, quilters, Viking re-enactors, and filmmakers. The 2026 calendar of events will be full of great events for all ages to enjoy. By early September we will post our full calendar of Dauphin events on this page. So, scroll down, check out the calendar of events, and plan to learn and get inspired!

Culture Days this year is a 17-day national celebration of the arts. Events will take place around the city at the Dauphin Public Library, the Countryfest Community Cinema, local businesses, and especially at the Watson Art Centre.  If you are interested in getting involved, contact the Watson Art Centre and we will get you in on the fun!
