Swift Current Ag & Ex wraps up a memorable Frontier Days 2025
The Swift Current Agricultural & Exhibition Association is thrilled to share highlights from another unforgettable Frontier Days! From June 25–28, over 24,000 guests joined us at Saskatchewan’s largest summer celebration to enjoy four fun-filled days of tradition, entertainment, and community pride.
This year’s theme, "Heritage, Heart & New Horizons," came alive throughout Kinetic Park and downtown Swift Current, blending our prairie roots with fresh energy and new ideas. With sunshine and cool breezes throughout the week, the mood was festive from morning parades to evening fireworks.
Event Highlights:
Grandstand Shows: The crowd roared at the Demolition Derby, sang along with Neal McCoy and Morgan Klaiber on Friday, and rocked out with Drake Milligan and The Brothers G on Saturday. Living Sky Casino capped the night with a spectacular fireworks finale.
Rodeo & Agriculture: The CCA Rodeo brought in top-tier talent, while the 4-H and Purebred Livestock Shows showcased young farmers and breeders. The 4-H steer sale averaged $5.08/lb — huge thanks to our buyers for investing in youth in agriculture.
Family Fun: From thrilling rides on the West Coast Amusements Midway to the High Dive Show and Dogs Do Magic, families had plenty to smile about. Doc’s Town Heritage Village and the Dale Anderson Memorial Heavy Horse Competition added history and horsepower to the mix.
Ambassador Spotlight: Frontier Days Ambassador Kaylor Rudd proudly represented Ag & Ex throughout the weekend — we’re so grateful for her continued enthusiasm and involvement.
Downtown & Cultural Celebrations:
Our downtown events were buzzing! The W.W. Smith Pancake Breakfast, Burning of the Brand, Kiddies Day Parade, and Flap Jack Friday brought locals together in true community style. Though Parade Marshal Archie Green couldn’t attend the main parade, his spirit was honored by Doc’s Town and the Scouts.
On the Culture Stage, music and dance performances showcased the Southwest’s vibrant diversity and creative spirit.
Giving Back:
Frontier Days is not just a celebration—it’s a chance to give back. Together with community partners, we helped raise thousands for local organizations:
$1,185 for Dorie’s House & The Center through Jeans for Teens
$2,116 for Canadian Mental Health Swift Current from the Pancake Breakfast
Gate staffing, cleanup, and volunteer support by Southwest Selects, Western Athletics Cheer Team, SaskAbilities, and the Redneck Betties helped fuel their community programs too.
Cheers to Community:
The Rodeo Beer Gardens, Cabarets, and Frontier Saloon were lively gathering places all weekend long. Whether dancing late into the night or catching up with friends, guests helped make these spaces a true celebration—and a vital fundraiser for our work year-round.
Looking Ahead
“This was my first year as General Manager, and it came with some big lessons,” said Rebecca Anderson. “I’m proud of what we accomplished and grateful for everyone who helped make it happen. We’re always learning, always improving—and already thinking about how to make next year even better.”
Thank you to our sponsors, volunteers, vendors, performers, and guests. Frontier Days 2025 reminded us what makes our community special—and we can’t wait to welcome you back in 2026.
