Saskatoon Berry Festival, July 23 & 24


The Saskatoon Farmers’ Market is hosting its first ever Saskatoon Berry Festival at the Saturday, July 23, and Sunday, July 24, markets. And it’s going to be fun!

Berry Good Food 
Start the weekend off right by joining Chef Jenni for a saskatoon berry-filled brunch at 9 am, July 23. Vegetarian options are available and most items are gluten-friendly.

Following the brunch, Chef Jenni will be demonstrating 6 different berry recipes. There will be samples and recipe cards.

If your mouth starts watering at the thought of saskatoon berry pie, never fear. There will be lots of those available from folks like Riverbend Plantation Market Café that sells freshly baked as well as frozen, bake-at-home pies all year round.

There will be a pie sale on Saturday and Sunday with proceeds going to The Friendship Inn.

But don’t stop at pie. Saskatoon berries are delicious in so many different sweet and savory dishes. Watch out for jam, ice cream, mustard, and chutney – not to mention fresh berries.

Participating Vendors 
At least 20 Market vendors will be offering special berry products – from treats for your dog to chocolate to soap to liqueur. Watch out for the purple balloons and signs indicating the participating vendors.
