Live Streams
Due to travel constraints, we understand that everyone is not physically able to travel to the Festival. We try to provide live streams of our major events each year. These are streamed for free through our Facebook Page.
Captioning
We are working with the Saskatchewan Deaf and Hard of Hearing Society (SDHHS) to provide full ASL/Captioning coverage for the entire Festival in future. Due to the large number of events at the Festival, the SDHHS does not have enough interpreters and captionists to cover every event. Please let us know by July 1st if you require ASL or captioning and what events you will be attending.
Public Transit
