Take a Break. Stay in the Action

Need a break from the summer sun?

The Canopy is your place to cool down and relax during the Saskatoon EX. Located in the heart of the fairgrounds, this shaded gathering space offers a comfortable spot to recharge while staying close to all the excitement.

Catch the game, enjoy a refreshing beverage, take a seat in the shade, or simply escape the heat for a while before heading back out to experience everything the EX has to offer.

Saskatoon EX Alcohol Policy & Guidelines

Prairieland is committed to providing a safe, fun, and responsible environment for all our guests. In compliance with SLGA regulations, our alcohol service policies are as follows:

  • Physical ID Required: To purchase or consume alcohol on-site, guests must be 19 years of age or older and present a valid, physical, government-issued photo ID to a liquor ticket seller. Photographs of IDs on mobile devices or paper photocopies will not be accepted under any circumstances.
  • 19+ Wristbands: Upon successful age verification, younger guests will be issued an official 19+ wristband. Wearing this wristband signals to our staff that your ID has been checked, making your subsequent purchases faster and easier. Visibly mature guests may be served without a wristband at the discretion of our Food & Beverage team.

    Please note that even if you are wearing a 19+ wristband, liquor ticket sellers, serving staff, and Yellow Shirts may still ask to see your ID if they believe you may be under the legal drinking age. If requested, you must present valid physical government-issued photo ID.
Responsible Service Policy

Prairieland enforces a zero-tolerance policy for underage drinking. Please note that our staff and security reserve the right to request physical ID from any guest consuming alcohol on the grounds at any time. Guests who are unable to provide valid physical proof of age upon request will not be served and may be asked to leave the licensed area.

Purchasing alcohol for, or sharing drinks with, anyone under the legal drinking age is a direct violation of SLGA law. Any guest observed passing alcohol to a minor, or to an unverified guest, will have their beverages confiscated immediately and will be subject to ejection from Prairieland without refund.

The Saskatoon EX offers both 19+ and all-ages environments where wristbanded guests can enjoy a drink:

  • Kickin’ Horse Saloon (19+ Only): Younger guests must present physical ID at the entrance to gain access.
  • SaskTel Grandstand (All-Ages Area): Enjoy a beverage while catching the show!
  • The Canopy (All-Ages Area): A relaxed, family-friendly environment where wristbanded adults may responsibly consume alcohol.
