The pavilion is located at the Regina Performing Arts Centre, which Lapchuk said provides a cozy environment for the dancing and music showcased within it.

As far as food goes, Lapchuk said perogies have been in preparation since February.

"We have, over the years, many people that have come over or come back to the pavilion over and over again to see different shows," Lapchuk said.

"That's one of the most rewarding things."
