Things to do in Saskatoon: Your Weekend Event Guide

Maygen Kardash

Hi, dear reader! Maygen aka “Sneaks” here. Every Thursday morning, I make a list of things to do in Saskatoon with an emphasis on low or no cost events. I volunteer to make these weekly guides. Your engagement on my social platforms, especially your interaction on my paid posts, is how my small business thrives. Find this list useful? Quickly go see & like my pinned posts (on Instagram OR tiktok OR on Facebook). And ooh if you’ve got a minute, I’d love your 5 star review on Google: https://g.page/r/Ceb8XSqjBBapEBM/review TIA!
