September in Saskatoon came in strong, and it looks like October won’t be any different—for both real estate and fun. The housing market here is still buzzing: homes are moving quickly, and inventory is tight. Buyers need to stay on their toes, and sellers still hold quite a bit of leverage. But while your clients might be browsing listings, there’s a whole city full of things going on as fall sets in.
Now that sweater weather is here, the city’s alive in a different way. Think crisp walks along the river trails, leaf-peeping in Varsity View or Nutana, and cozying up with a latte at one of our many cool cafés. But the real magic comes from seasonal events—so here’s a taste of what October has in store in Saskatoon:
Pumpkin After Dark (October 11–31) — An evening time experience at Prairieland Park with more than 10,000 hand-carved pumpkins, light displays, music, and special effects. Great for families or anyone who loves an Instagram moment. Discover Saskatoon
Oktoberfest (October 3 & 4) — You can catch this at Prairieland, with all the usual fest vibes: food, music, community, and fun. Prairieland - Where Communities Gather
