Local Favs The Roxy Very few classic movie theatres are left, and none are better preserved than the Roxy on historic 20th Street in Riversdale. Have a peek, or take in a movie.
The family can delve into their artistic sides at “Something on Sundays at the Mendel Art Gallery.” Visit Meewasin Valley Centre’s local history room and uncover the secrets of Boomtown.
THE LAST, GREAT WEST Saskatoon is your gateway to what proved to be the last frontier of the continental plains. This land has no shortage of stories, and no shortage of storytellers. On the world’s history clock, buffalo hunts happened just seconds ago. Let our local historians and interpreters take you on a journey at the Western Development Museum and Wanuskewin Heritage Park. Or relive it with guided canoe and cross-country ski tours themed by the Trails of 1885, summer and winter, from Canoeski Discovery Company.

Catch a show at the Refinery – theatre, live music, dance, 20 | EXPLOREYXE they do it all!
History becomes very palpable when you treat yourself to the ambience, the food and – best of all – the engaging personalities of the owners, at restaurants such as Saskatoon Station Place and Winston’s, in buildings once owned by the prairie barons of more than a century ago. Visit Two Gun Quiche House on 20th Street for the story behind the name. (Yes, it’s true!)
Studio 914
Capitol Music Club
Studio 914 is a theatrical hub for our community. La Troupe du Jour and Saskatchewan Native Theatre Company operate their season productions, workshops, and artist development from this exceptional facility.
If you are new in town and want to know about the live music scene in Saskatoon, your first stop is the Capitol. Showcasing pride for our homegrown talent, venues like this add yet another flavour to our cultural identity.
A WALK ALONG OUR CULTURAL CRESCENT Saskatoon is a designated Cultural Capital of Canada. A pleasant afternoon’s walk along Broadway Avenue, across the Broadway Bridge to River Landing and down 20th Street will tell you why. Take your time exploring this “cultural crescent” in the heart of our city, and you’ll be delighted to meet the shopkeepers, who are often the artisans, at places like Handmade House on Broadway, and the Storefront in Riversdale (check out Hardpressed for hip Saskatoon-inspired shirts). Our Farmers’ Market brings the best of the home-grown harvest into town throughout the year, complete with the proud producers who are only too happy to talk about their love of the land and the way they grow their crops. It’s a popular weekend marketplace for locals and visitors alike, especially over the summer and fall. If your taste buds play an important role in your cultural discoveries, the cultural crescent sets an impressive table. Many of the restaurants here attest to Saskatoon’s history of welcoming people from around the world – from Eastern Europe to the Far East. End the day at The Woods Alehouse where you will get a lesson in craft beer. Try the ‘Flight’ which consists of six different samples. Staff are happy to share their knowledge.
