The City of Saskatoon will be taking over Rotary Park to host family-friendly events and entertainment.

“There'll be lots of all the rides and that kind of stuff will be over there,” the director of Canada Day Saskatoon, Shad Ali, told CTV News.

“There'll be some merchandise vendors and food trucks there as well. The food trucks on the traffic bridge have become so good,” he said.

They have also arranged for a mobile interpretive artist for the traffic bridge during the event.

There will also be jumpy toys, face painting, balloon artists, kids' activities and entertainers, according to the Canada Day Saskatoon website.

“There is something for every age group really down there,” Ali said.
