REGINA–Its been a long winter and early spring for Rider Nation, but the wait ends tonight.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are playing their last pre season game, as they host the Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Mosaic Stadium.
The game theme is “Community Culture Night”, and there will be a full slate of entertainment before, and during the game.
Community Culture Night, presented by First Nations University of Canada, will shine a light on the people, traditions and cultures that make Rider Nation unique.
It will celebrate the start of a new season with an unforgettable night of unity and pride.

It all starts with “Coors Light Party In The Park” at 4:oo pm.
Fans can expect live performances from DJ Tolley T and the Harvard Media Saskatchewan Roughrider Cheer Team in the park which will also feature face painting and balloon artists for our littlest Rider fans. Plus, don’t miss the chance to meet some of our stars with a player autograph signing before the game.
Don’t miss your chance to learn something new when Regina Cricket Association (The Regina Shaheens) takes over the park to demonstrate the fundamentals of cricket, one of the world’s most popular international sports. Fans will have the chance to test out cricket for themselves with members of the club there to explain the rules of the game, how to throw and hit, and how to get involved in local leagues.
Game Day festivities continue inside the stadium where the national anthem will be sung by 620 CKRM anthem singer, Nino Hernandez. A special halftime performance will feature the Mosaic Festival Dancers, representing the Austrian, Balaton Hungarian, Hellenic Greek, Italian, Kyiv Ukrainian, Metis, Filipino and Scottish pavilions – all there to showcase the vibrant culture of Saskatchewan.
