===Events and festivals===
Saskatoon's major arts venue is [[TCU Place]], which is next to Midtown Plaza downtown. Since opening in 1967, it has hosted scores of concerts, theatrical performances, live events such as the Telemiracle [[telethon]], high school graduation and university [[convocation]] ceremonies, and conventions. It is also home to the [[Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra]]. It recently underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation to its main theatre (named in honour of former mayor and senator [[Sidney Buckwold]]).

For rock concerts and major shows, [[SaskTel Centre]] is the main venue. It is Saskatchewan's

Musical acts from Saskatoon include [[Joni Mitchell]], [[Kyle Riabko]], [[Wide Mouth Mason]], [[The Northern Pikes]], [[The Sheepdogs]], [[One Bad Son]] and [[The Deep Dark Woods]], as well as countless others popular at both local and regional levels.

For over 25 years, Saskatoon has hosted a gathering of antique automobiles, (mainly from the 1960s) that has grown into an event called "Cruise Weekend". The event is usually held on the last weekend (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) in August. Activities include a poker derby, dances, and a show 'N' shine with over 800 cars from all over western Canada. No admission is charged and everyone is free to walk around and enjoy the atmosphere.

The city's annual exhibition (now called the Saskatoon Exhibition but also known in previous years as Pioneer Days and "The Ex") is held every August at [[Prairieland Park]]. In the late 1990s, the Saskatoon Exhibition was rescheduled to August so that it no longer was in direct competition with the [[Calgary Stampede]], which frequently overlapped the event.

Saskatoon's [[Sikh]] community celebrates the festival of [[Vaisakhi]] with a parade held in May.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/sikh-parade-saskatoon-crowd-1.4134571|title=1st-ever Saskatoon Sikh Parade was so busy it spurred a traffic advisory|access-date=28 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170530135826/http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/sikh-parade-saskatoon-crowd-1.4134571|archive-date=May 30, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>
