Residents in Yorkton, Saskatchewan can meet the Yorkton Arts Council at CultureFest over three upcoming Thursdays to learn about the 2026-27 performance season and buy tickets. The council will have a presence downtown on June 11, June 18, and June 25.
Those stopping by can chat with council representatives, find out about the seven shows running from October to April, and secure seats. The 2026-27 lineup includes Keith Alessi on October 6, Kellie Loder on October 22, Burnstick on November 27, Ménestrel with Vincent Lauzer on February 4, Windborne on March 19, The Johner Brothers on April 9, and The Fugitives on April 27.
Tickets are $37.50 for adults and seniors if bought ahead, or $45 at the door. Students pay $15 and children under 12 get in for $5. People who buy three or more shows get a 15 percent discount, and six or more shows come with 20 percent off.
CultureFest itself runs every Thursday evening in June from 4:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at City Park. Each week has a different cultural theme: June 4 was Indigenous Culture, June 11 is Spirit of Ukraine, June 18 highlights Philippine culture and Vibrant India, and June 25 wraps up with Jamaica Vibes and a Youth Celebration Extravaganza. The festival has grown so much it is nearly too big for City Park.
The Yorkton Arts Council is a non-profit that connects locals with professional performing artists through its concert series, school programs, and other events. It operates out of the Godfrey Dean Cultural Centre at 49 Smith Street East and also runs the annual Sunflower Art and Craft Market fundraiser. Registration for the 2026 market is now open. Community members looking to volunteer can reach the council at 306-783-8722 or drop by during office hours, Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
