2026 Fall Festival to fill downtown North Battleford with music, games and street hockey

Sep 3, 2026 | 11:10 AM

More bouncy castles, three-on-three street hockey and a packed lineup of live entertainment are planned when North Battleford’s Fall Festival returns Sept. 12.

Business Improvement District executive director Kori Humenny said the annual celebration will offer activities for children, live performances and opportunities to support local businesses.

“It’s always such a good time, and I feel like every year it gets bigger and better,” Humenny said.

The event will run from noon to 5 p.m. along 101st Street between 11th and 14th Avenues in downtown.

This year’s attractions include bouncy castles, a dunk tank, a petting zoo, face painting, crafts, airbrush tattoos and carnival games. Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies (SIIT) is providing the festival with more bouncy castles than in previous years.

“Obviously, the crafts and the face painting and the airbrush tattoos, the kids always seem to be lined up for that,” Humenny said. 

“If the lineup is long, maybe take a break, go to the bouncy castles, hit up the dunk tank.”

The North Stars will operate the dunk tank, while a three-on-three street hockey tournament will give spectators another event to watch.

Stereo Playground will headline the live entertainment and perform three sets. The lineup also includes Zeta and Addie Bennett, along with a 30-minute performance from Annette’s School of Dance.

Food trucks will be on site, and some local businesses will hold sidewalk sales during the festival.

Humenny said the event depends on support from community sponsors, including SIIT, Tim Hortons, SaskTel, SaskEnergy, Battle River Treaty 6 Health Centre, Danish Home Bakery and Home Hardware.
