Celebrate Summer 2025

This weekend brought a ton of semi-trucks to Steinbach for the Southeast Truck Show.   

Organizer Bill Schroeder says that the truck show started 5 years ago to help his daughter working for Youth For Christ raise enough to finance her year.   

“I figured I'd get 10,12,13 trucks together, have a little bit of a shindig, and make a couple bucks. Well, that ended up being 41 semis' and we may raise over $10,000.”  

Neufeld’s Garage hosted Adult and Teen Challange’s first-ever Transformation Tractor Ride.   

The fundraiser included approximately 50 sponsored tractors driving to raise funds for a life free from addiction.   

CEO of Adult and Teen Challenge, Daniel Emond, says that this fundraiser focuses on support from the Steinbach area.   

Portage la Prairie residents and visitors alike were invited to enjoy lunch for a cause this week at Douglas Campbell Lodge, where a hot dog sale brings together sunshine, community spirit, and support for local seniors.

Corrine Pratt, the recreation coordinator at the lodge, says the event is part of their annual efforts to improve the quality of life for the residents. 

Steinbach and District Farmers Market opened today in the Clearspring Center parking lot, and will continue every Thursday, all summer long.  

The farmers market brought in tons of homemade crafts and creations, baked goods, home grown or canned vegetables, and so much more.  

The first weekend of summer brings trucks, tractors, and parades, as events fill up schedules.  The Steinbach and district farmers market opens Thursday, as an early start to the list of things going on this weekend. Additionally, there will be a tractor trek, the Southeast Truck show, and St Jean Baptiste Days events taking place. We will be at almost all the events this weekend, so make sure to tune in!  

From restored vintage tractors to hand-knitted crafts and cattle shows, the 71st annual Lundar Agricultural Fair proved once again that rural pride and volunteerism are alive and well in Manitoba.

Held over a packed two-day weekend, the fair attracted visitors from across the Interlake region and beyond. Whether you were for the home-living exhibits, the 4-H cattle display, or the bustling parade, the fair offered something for everyone, made possible entirely by the tireless efforts of local volunteers.

Another great Summer in the City festival is in the books! 

The streets were packed in downtown Steinbach for three days as people caught up with old friends, enjoyed food from Cultures in the City, local restaurants, and food trucks, took in amazing local music and two great headliners, rode the many Midway rides, and participated in countless activities for the whole family. 

Summer in the city is taking over the weekend. Main Street will be a busy hub in Steinbach for the next few days. Here’s what’s happening:  

Summer in the City – Friday, June 13th – Sunday, June 15th 

The Southeast is full of life this weekend with Niverville fair drawing in people from surrounding communities.  

Niverville fair featured rides, food vendors, an outdoor market, a KidZone, a petting zoo, and so much more. 

Volunteers at the event note that the event used to feel like a family gathering. In more recent years its a place to meet new people. 

The third annual Kleefeld Car Show took place at the Kleefeld Rec Center today, bringing in car lovers across the community. 

Many car enthusiasts entered in the show last minute after seeing signs posted around town. The community was eager to get involved and share their common interests with others.
