Grey Cup Party Highlights a Busy Weekend in Regina
This weekend in Regina is packed with exciting events, from the Saskatchewan Roughriders' championship celebration to the annual Pride parade and a new classic car show. Here are five things you won't want to miss.
1. Grey Cup Party at Mosaic Stadium
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are hosting a championship-themed celebration at Mosaic Stadium on Saturday before their season opener against the B.C. Lions. The Grey Cup will make a special appearance, and the team will raise its 2025 championship banner. A flyover by the Canadian Armed Forces is also planned. Fans can go on the field for a post-game celebration.
New this year are two fan experiences: Riderland Park at Confederation Park (formerly Party in the Park) and a tailgating zone south of the Brandt Centre. The tailgating area opens five hours before kickoff and includes food, drinks, and a beer garden. While tailgating passes are sold out, all fans can walk through the area.
