Prohibition: An Unlicensed History of Saskatoon
Gangsters, gun molls and tommy guns? Well, not really. But for a town founded by teetotallers, our city has certainly had its share of booze and boozers, bootleggers and rumrunners. A history of Prohibition and alcohol in Saskatoon from its early beginnings until modern times, with City of Saskatoon Archivist, Jeff O’Brien.
Welcome to the 2023 Heritage Festival of Saskatoon, celebrating Saskatoon and area’s civic, natural, cultural, and artistic heritage, and featuring events on Feb 12, 15, and 16th.
This year’s festival theme is The River. An element of our natural heritage, it is ever flowing, both constant and changing. For as long as people have been, and will be here, their activity is reflected in its waters.
For 35 years, the Heritage Festival of Saskatoon has delighted, informed, and entertained visitors.
“A fun way to learn more about our past and what shapes our city today.”
