REGINA — The REAL District has unveiled a jam-packed March lineup.
Hockey, agriculture, home design, faith celebrations, trade shows, live music and community sport will all share the same footprint over the next 31 days. For a district that has evolved from its Exhibition Park roots into a year-round economic and entertainment engine, March is shaping up to be a showcase month.
A place built for big moments
Operated by Regina Exhibition Association Limited, REAL District spans more than 100 acres and includes some of the province’s most recognizable venues:
-
Mosaic Stadium
-
Brandt Centre
-
Bunge International Trade Centre
-
Queensbury Convention Centre
-
Co-operators Centre
Since the completion of Mosaic Stadium in 2017 and the opening of the International Trade Centre in 2018, the district has transformed into a multi-venue hub capable of hosting everything from international agricultural trade shows to major concerts and national sporting events.
March’s schedule proves just how diverse that footprint has become.
Hockey, playoffs and packed arenas
The Regina Pats continue their Western Hockey League season at the Brandt Centre with matchups against the Medicine Hat Tigers, Lethbridge Hurricanes, Prince Albert Raiders and Brandon Wheat Kings.
Meanwhile, the Co-operators Centre ice will rarely sit empty. Ringette Saskatchewan provincials, the Regina Rebels playoff games, youth U7 and U9 jamborees, and the SaskPower and SaskEnergy Employees Provincial Hockey Tournament will keep rinks buzzing from early morning to late night.
The Co-operators Centre alone features six sheets of indoor ice, making it one of the largest multi-sheet hockey facilities in Canada and a cornerstone of community sport in Regina.
Agriculture takes centre stage
One of the month’s biggest draws returns March 17 to 19 as Canada’s Farm Show, presented by Bunge, fills the Bunge International Trade Centre.
With roots dating back nearly five decades, Canada’s Farm Show has become one of North America’s premier dryland farming exhibitions, connecting producers with the latest in ag technology, equipment, sustainability solutions and global market insight. Thousands of producers, exhibitors and international delegates are expected to attend.
The show is a major economic driver, generating millions in local spending and reinforcing Regina’s role as an agricultural innovation hub.
Home inspiration and big stage entertainment
The Spring Home Show returns March 28 and 29, offering renovation ideas, local contractors, design inspiration and expert advice under one roof.
That same weekend delivers a stacked Saturday night lineup. Rock Orchestra by Candlelight hits the Brandt Centre stage, while Skate Regina hosts its ice show at the Co-operators Centre.
Throughout the month, the Regina Farmers’ Market will continue its indoor runs at Banner Hall, bringing local vendors and producers into the district every Saturday morning.
Faith, culture and career connections
March also reflects Regina’s diversity and community spirit.
The Islamic Association of Saskatchewan hosts its Khatam-al-Quran and fundraiser at the Queensbury Convention Centre. Eid ul-Fitr celebrations will take place at AffinityPlex. Prairie Promo, a regional marketing showcase, and a major career fair round out the professional development calendar.
The Advancing Organics Conference and Tradeshow will bring producers and industry leaders together to explore the future of organic agriculture, another example of REAL District’s role in supporting Saskatchewan’s economic backbone.
More than events
Beyond headline shows and tournaments, REAL District operates year-round programming inside the Avana Centre, including drop-in basketball, futsal, badminton and volleyball. The campus is also home to the Queen City Pickleball Hub, Regina Skateboarding Coalition programming, REAL Kids Camp and the Co-operators Centre Hockey League.
The district’s leadership has repeatedly emphasized its mission to be more than a venue operator. It is positioned as a community builder and economic catalyst, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors annually while creating space for local sport, culture, agriculture and business to thrive.
March is the latest proof point.
From youth jamborees at sunrise to sold-out arenas at night, REAL District will pulse with activity nearly every day this month. For Regina residents, it means options. For local businesses, it means traffic. For the city, it reinforces the district’s growing identity as one of Saskatchewan’s most important gathering places.
