Welcome
Welcome to the 2027 Heritage Festival of Saskatoon, celebrating Saskatoon and area’s civic, natural, cultural, and artistic heritage, and featuring events on Feb 7th and 10th.
2027 Theme
The 2027 festival theme, “Stories of Saskatoon”, invites everyone to discover the city’s heritage through our stories. Heritage is more than just buildings, historical dates, artifacts or even traditions. It is also the experiences, memories, values, people and events that help to create our collective identity. Stories bring those things to life and connect generations. They are how our heritage is remembered, understood, preserved and passed from one generation to the next. Each new story adds to, and helps to carry our heritage into the future.

For 39 years, the Heritage Festival of Saskatoon has delighted, informed, and entertained visitors.
