Things to do in Saskatoon: Your Weekend Event Guide
Hello, 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? Visit my pinned posts (on Instagram OR tiktok OR on Facebook) & give them some love! And ooh if you’ve got a minute, I’d love your 5 star review on Google: https://g.page/r/Ceb8XSqjBBapEBM/review . TIA!
Wondering how to get your event listed? Click here for info. Please note that if you contact me after this list is published, I can’t guarantee I’ll get your message or be at my computer to add it late.
