The Countryfest Community Cinema opened on February 11, 2011, after years of dedication, fundraising, and generous support from residents and businesses throughout Dauphin and the Parkland region.

Built by the community and operated as a non-profit theatre, the cinema was created to ensure that local families, friends, and visitors could continue enjoying first-run movies close to home. Thanks to the hard work of countless volunteers and supporters, the dream of having movie entertainment in Dauphin became a reality. 

Today, the cinema operates as a welcoming family-friendly space where to gather, relax, and enjoy the magic of the big screen. As a non-profit, all revenue goes directly back into operations, maintenance, and improvements that keep the cinema running. 

If you'd like to support the future of the Countryfest Community Cinema, please contact us. 

The Countryfest Community Cinema is guided by a volunteer Board of Directors who help oversee the theatre's operations and ensure it remains a sustainable, community-driven space.
