PRIDE YXE AND SASKTEL JAZZ FEST JOIN FORCES ON JUNE 24TH

The Sasktel Jazz festival is showing their pride in 2017 as they partner with the Saskatoon Pride Festival on Saturday, June 24th. The first Saturday of the Jazz Festival overlaps with the 25th edition of the Saskatoon Pride Festival creating a unique opportunity to bridge two major Saskatoon events.

The Pride parade will be strutting through downtown between 1pm and 2:30pm culminating on 21st Street and 4th Avenue near the Delta Bessborough Hotel. Following the parade the Potash Corp Free Stage (now located in Kiwanis Park North) will be animated with a day co-programmed by Pride and the Jazz Festival.

Kevin Tobin, Artistic Director of the Jazz Festival comments: “Creating meaningful partnerships that celebrate and showcase the diversity of our community makes the Jazz Festival a dynamic event and strong organization.”
