While the competitions take centre stage, the Saskatchewan Winter Games are also a celebration of community, culture, and connection. Throughout the week, a variety of Community Cultural Events will be taking place, showcasing local talent, traditions, and the spirit of our host communities.
All cultural events are free and open to the public — everyone is welcome to join in, explore, and celebrate together.
