Your friendly, positive roundup of what’s happening in Regina

Happy Friday, Regina!

We made it! Another week down, and despite the dip in temperatures, the weekend is shaping up to be a busy one. There is something about a crisp January weekend in the Queen City that just begs for a hot coffee and a plan.

Whether you are looking to cheer on the home team, explore some local art, or just find a warm place to escape the windchill, we have you covered. The rinks are ready, the stage lights are on, and the market vendors are prepping for tomorrow morning.

Let’s get your weekend sorted!

In today’s edition:

Weather: Check your app! It’s proper winter out there. Expect it to be brisk, so if you’re heading to Wascana or the Brandt Centre, layer up. The sunshine might be out, but that wind doesn't play around.

The Brandt Centre is the place to be tonight. The Regina Pats are back on home ice to kick off the weekend. There is nothing quite like the energy of a Friday night game—the crowd, the music, and hopefully, a big win for the home team. If you haven't been to a game in a while, this is the perfect excuse to grab some rink fries and make some noise.

If you’re missing the fresh veggies and local crafts of summer, don’t worry. The Regina Farmers' Market continues its indoor season this Saturday at the Core Ritchie Neighbourhood Centre. It’s the best spot to stock up on root vegetables, fresh baking, and preserves while supporting local producers who work hard all winter long.

Looking for a cultural escape? The Globe Theatre is in full swing with its winter programming. It’s a great way to spend an evening downtown, supporting local actors and enjoying professional theatre right in our backyard. Tickets tend to go fast for weekend shows, so check the schedule early.

The MacKenzie Art Gallery is hosting a special Gallery Walk this Saturday. It’s a chance to explore current exhibitions with deeper insight. If you’re looking for a slower-paced, inspiring Saturday afternoon activity (that is strictly indoors!), this is a fantastic option. Plus, their on-site cafe is a great spot to debrief afterwards.

For families needing to burn off some energy, the Saskatchewan Science Centre is open all weekend with hands-on exhibits. It’s one of the few places where "please touch everything" is actually the rule. A solid option for keeping the kids entertained and warm for a few hours.

If you want to support local artists and a local venue, The Artesian on 13th Ave is hosting live music tonight. It’s an intimate venue with great acoustics and a cozy vibe—perfect for a Friday night out in the Cathedral area. Grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy some homegrown talent.
