The Ness Creek Music Festival, new to the province (just shy of a decade) occurs in midsummer in northern Saskatchewan. Mosaic, in Regina, and Folkfest, in Saskatoon, are two attractions not to miss out on. Both events showcase the diverse culture of Saskatchewan. Over twenty different ethnic pavilions at each festival offer food, entertainment and lots of culture. Saskatchewan has events for every taste.

The Snowbirds soar at the Saskatchewan Air Show in Moose Jaw, see the Canada Remembers Air Show in August in Saskatoon or watch the Saskatchewan Roughriders stage their own air display at Regina's Taylor Field.
