New Year's Eve fireworks & family events in Saskatoon
“Are there New Year’s Eve fireworks in Saskatoon for 2026?” I’ve had many DMs asking this question! And while there are no fireworks sponsored by City of Saskatoon for the occasion, you’ll be happy to know that two community leaders DO put on a show. You’re also welcome to put on a fireworks show of your own. Keep reading for info on fireworks, plus a few family-friendly NYE events.

Stonebridge New Year’s Celebration Our community association is hosting a bunch of fun stuff on the 31st including a snowball throwing contest, homemade toboggan contest, and more.
