REGINA— The Saskatchewan Roughriders are back at Mosaic Stadium this Friday night, riding high with a 5-1 record after a thrilling win over the B.C. Lions. The Green and White will face off against the Edmonton Elks in a festive Friday night matchup that promises to be more than just football — it’s a full-blown summer celebration with a holiday twist.
🎄 A Tropical Take on Christmas
This week’s theme is “Christmas in July,” and fans can expect Mosaic Stadium to be transformed into a tropical winter wonderland. Santa’s traded in his sleigh for sandals, and the Riders are decking the halls — or rather, the park — with palm trees, holiday cheer, and summer fun.
The festivities kick off early at Coors Light Party in the Park at 4:00 p.m. in Confederation Park. Fans can enjoy $5 beers, live entertainment, and interactive games like “Dodging Snowballs” and a Christmas gift unwrapping challenge. Whether you’re donning a Hawaiian shirt or a Santa hat, it’s the perfect way to get into the spirit before kickoff.
🎶 Live Music & Local Talent
The pregame party will feature a festive soundtrack courtesy of DJ Classee, followed by a special performance from Saskatchewan’s own Teagan Littlechief. Known for her powerhouse vocals and commanding stage presence, Littlechief is one of Canada’s top Indigenous country music artists and a fan favourite.
🐾 Halftime Goes to the Dogs
At halftime, the action continues with a high-energy flyball relay by Diamonds in the Ruff, a crowd-pleasing dog team that’s sure to delight fans of all ages.
🥫 Giving Back with Purolator
Fans are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items in a Purolator Tackle Hunger bag, available at the Rider Ticket Office and Rider Store. Donations can be dropped off at gates or at the Purolator activation in Party in the Park — where fans can also snap a photo with the Grey Cup.
🎉 A Night to Remember
With appearances by the 620 CKRM Rider Pep Band, the Harvard Media Cheer Team, and the ever-energetic Gainer the Gopher, this Friday night promises to be one of the most memorable game days of the season.
Kickoff is at 7:00 p.m., with gates opening at 5:30 p.m. Don’t miss your chance to celebrate the holidays — Rider Nation style — under the summer lights.
