Saskatchewan Celebrates Creativity: Culture Days 2025 hits communities province-wide

Arts, culture, and community take centre stage as Culture Days 2025 kicks off across Saskatchewan from September 19 to October 12. Now in its 16th year, the festival offers free events that celebrate the province’s vibrant cultural diversity—and invite everyone to join the fun.

This year, Culture Days also honours the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation on September 30, spotlighting events that promote understanding, learning, and reconciliation.

The launch on September 19 features the provincial premiere of the Axis of Access document, a guide to arts accessibility created by Listen to Dis’ Community & Arts Organization and the Saskatchewan Arts Alliance.

“Culture Days is all about art, heritage, culture, and community,” says Dean Kush, CEO of SaskCulture. “It’s a chance to explore new passions, connect with neighbours, and celebrate creativity everywhere.”

The Government of Saskatchewan has officially proclaimed September 19 to October 12 as Culture Days, with Minister Alana Ross noting:
“Arts and culture enrich our lives and bring people together. Culture Days shows the power of creativity to foster understanding and inclusivity.”

Thanks to Sask Lotteries funding, SaskCulture’s Culture Days Hub program is supporting communities large and small—from Regina, Saskatoon, and Prince Albert to Beauval, Hazlet, and Wynyard—to host events that inspire, engage, and educate.

Kush invites everyone to join in the celebration: “Attend an event, try something new, and strengthen your community through art.”
