Sunday, August 11th, 2024, marked the final day of Winkler's Harvest Festival, filled with community events and inspiring performances. The day began with a church service, bringing community members together in a spirit gratitude. Following the service, the festival grounds were filled with a classic car show, where vintage vehicles attracted fans and families.
"We see a lot of visitors during the festival... we have an opportunity to show off our community, we have an opportunity for people to see a little bit of all the terrific things that Winkler is," said Mayor Henry Siemens.
The evening entertainment began at 6:00 PM with Caleb & John, whose lively beats and heartfelt lyrics set a positive tone. Shortly after, Jordan Janzen took the stage, delivering a blend of contemporary Christian music that resonated deeply with the audience.
"It's great to be back here. One of the biggest struggles with being on the road so much has been being away from our families," said Janzen. "This community has been very, very supportive of me and of the band over the years, so we're very thankful."
The festival concluded with fireworks after a powerful performance by Austin French. He's a rising star in the contemporary Christian music scene, sharing his journey through song, combining personal stories with powerful lyrics through songs from his upcoming album Wide Open. His energetic and heartfelt performance provided a memorable ending to a day full of soulful music.
