The SAA is heartbroken by the loss of the Regina Folk Festival, a cornerstone of Saskatchewan’s arts community for 55 years.

THANK YOU to all who made it special. The RFF was more than a festival—it was a celebration of creativity and connection. Let's keep supporting the arts and local festivals!
