Event Description

Get ready for a summer of toe-tapping tunes and good times under the Manitoba sky! The Selkirk Concert Series kicks off its season on June 8th, 2024, with a double dose of country music at the beautiful Selkirk Waterfront.
Just a reminder: Concerts never cancel due to rain; they relocate instead. Announcements for relocation will be made here and on social media.
Season Opener ignites the dance floor:
● First up, the Hearts on Fire Band, a five-piece act known for their love of 90s country, will have you swaying to classics by Pam Tillis and Marty Stuart. Dust off your cowboy hat and boots – it's gonna be a boot-scootin' good time! The music starts at 7:00 pm.
● Following at 8:30 pm, the Sean Taylor Band takes the stage with a high-energy mix of country, rock, and pop that's guaranteed to get you moving. This six-member group is a party waiting to happen!
