A Celebration of Community & Culture! Come have a Blast!
The hub of activity for the PotashCorp Fireworks Festival is Saskatoon's spectacular River Landing, along the South Saskatchewan River in the heart of Saskatoon.
Live shows take place on Friday and Saturday evenings at two locations: the Amphitheatre at River Landing and across the river in Rotary Park. Both evenings are topped off with a fantastic fireworks display set to music. (read more about the fireworks show below under 'Choreographed Pyrotechnic Shows')
The PotashCorp Fireworks Festival is truly a community celebration. Aside from the terrific entertainment and amazing fireworks displays, the Festival features: fun demonstrations and games, a bike valet service so you don't have to worry about where to leave your bicycle, and food and beverage vendors so you don't get hungry!
All this and more... don't miss out - mark your calendar today!
Choreographed Pyrotechnic Shows
Choreographed pyrotechnic shows will be blasted over the South Saskatchewan River both nights - Friday, September 2nd and Saturday, September 3rd. There are two unique shows produced by different companies - so it's a new show each night! See Ruggieri Fireworks of Regina and Fireworks Spectacular of Calgary light up the night!
Fireworks are planned to go off at 9:30 PM on Friday night and 9:30 PM on Saturday night -- but come out at 5:00 PM each afternoon to enjoy the food and fun leading up to the fireworks extravaganza!

MONDAY, JUNE 28, 2010 – At a special River Landing event, Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan announced a three-year title sponsor commitment to the Fireworks Festival. This means the Saskatoon Fireworks Festival has been newly named the PotashCorp Fireworks Festival.
Here’s what Fireworks Festival organizers, founders, and partners have to say about this new sponsorship and the Festival:
“In a short period of time, the Fireworks Festival has become an important event for Saskatoon. It attracts more than 50,000 people to our riverbanks. PotashCorp is thrilled to support that success.”
PotashCorp Executive Vice President & CFO, Wayne Brownlee
“The Fireworks Festival is very special. Thousands of people come together to enjoy the festival at our magnificent River Landing. Having a tremendous sponsor such as PotashCorp step forward and make a multi-year commitment to the Fireworks Festival allows the organizers to continue to make the festival available free of charge.”
City of Saskatoon Mayor, Don Atchison
“The Fireworks Festival attracts thousands of visitors and former residents into the city, but it is also a strong motivator for residents to plan their time in the city. This type of festival definitely creates excitement in our city.”
Tourism Saskatoon President & CEO, Todd Brandt
“We’re thrilled to have PotashCorp onboard. Getting a strong Saskatchewan company involved in our event is so important because it will allow us to continue offering the caliber of Festival we’ve established, while maintaining the community focus. Watch for some really exciting additional announcements as the summer progresses!”
Festival Director, Shad Ali
