Events

Regina Downtown is dedicated to attracting events and special activities to Downtown. We believe that initiatives such as this, remind us that a healthy and vibrant downtown is the reflection of a healthy and vibrant city with a strong sense of community.

Downtown in the summer is the place to see and be seen. Every summer, Regina Downtown BID constructs a public stage on F.W. Hill Mall, which is used primarily by community groups, local festivals and events, and is available to all Regina Downtown members. If you are interested in hosting your event or festival on the FW Hill Mall stage, please see Event Guidelines and then fill out this permit application and fax it to the Regina Downtown office at (306) 359-9060.

Each year, Downtown events such as the Regina Folk Festival, Buffalo Days, the Scarth Street Summer Concert Series and the Downtown Ice & Fire Carnival draw thousands of spectators to the Downtown area.
