A Kaleidoscope of Culture

As a city with an ever-growing population from all over the world, Regina is truly a hub of culture that can be experienced with all of your senses. Appreciate and interpret art at some of the many galleries such as the MacKenzie Art Gallery, or head downtown to see some of the various outdoor pieces. Get in tune with the music while you sit back and enjoy music from the Regina Symphony Orchestra or a live performance in our beloved Globe Theatre.

Globe Theatre

Regina Symphony Orchestra

Say goodbye to reality and enter a world of fantasy as you take a seat in Canada’s only permanent theatre in the round: Regina’s Globe Theatre. This is the province’s largest performing arts organization and the regional theatre for Regina and southern Saskatchewan.

Ranging from movie theme songs, to the classics, and something for the kids, the Regina Symphony Orchestra can appeal to anyone who enjoys music. Now is the time to experience the beginning of a new era as Gordon Gerrard, the new RSO Music Director, takes over.

MacKenzie Art Gallery

Mosaic: A Festival of Cultures

Be inspired by the thought provoking art showcased at the MacKenzie Art Gallery. Visitors to the gallery often remark that the exhibitions are on par with the best galleries in North America.

Free public tours are offered. The gift shop features artists from all over Saskatchewan and Canada and is a great place to shop handmade and high-quality Saskatchewan gifts.

University of Regina

A Taste of the Prairies

Regina is home to the University of Regina which offers innovative programs leading to bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees and three federated colleges: Campion College, First Nations University of Canada, and Luther College. The U of R has two athletics teams: the Cougars and the Rams who provide an exciting spectator experience in football, basketball, volleyball and others. The U of R bookstore offers souvenirs and Saskatchewan made gifts, in addition to their wide collection of textbooks and local works.

Just a 25 minute drive from Regina through the scenic rolling hills of the Qu’Appelle Valley, you will find the beautiful town of Lumsden.

Its small town charm will have you indulging in a slice of organic prairie cherry pie, sipping a locally distilled cocktail, or bringing home fresh crisp vegetables from the garden.

From Farm to Table

Take a tour of Saskatchewan’s first micro-distillery, Last Mountain Distillery. Get an inside look at the distillery process and learn about what it takes to be an award- winning distillery. Following your tour, be sure to stay for a tasting of one of their distinctive whiskey and vodka blends.

Bustling with fresh, local food and products, and the energy of shoppers, Regina Farmer’s Market is the place to be Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the spring and summer. The RFM not only has food, but great hand-crafted items and art. Hit up one of the many food trucks while you savour a farm-to-plate experience. Night time markets are held throughout the summer and are a great way to experience our local producers.

At Over the Hill Orchards, learn how science has allowed this Saskatchewan based, award-winning orchard to grow fruit not native to the region. Stay for a slice of gluten- free prairie cherry pie or taste their newly launched fruit wine.

Enjoy the refreshing smell of crisp vegetables straight from the ground at one of the many farms in the Lumsden area. Be sure to visit Frontier Gardens, The Corn Maiden Market, Lincoln Gardens, Heliotrope Farm, and Scotty’s Garden. If you are visiting in the fall, check out Pumpkin Hollow.
