REGINA — The Queen City Ex, presented by SaskTel, continues today with another full day of rides, food, entertainment and live music at REAL District.
Gates open at noon and remain open until midnight. The five-day fair runs through Sunday, Aug. 2.
Original 16 Grandstand Stage
Helix and Quiet Riot brought some 1980s nostalgia to Confederation Park last night on the Original 16 Grandstand Stage. Almost three hours of non-stop ‘80s rock classics brought back memories for many fans.
Tonight's entertainment features Geordie Kieffer and Canadian favourites Down With Webster.

Guests looking to refuel can visit the REAL Flavours booth, featuring favourites including the Perogy Stack, along with new menu items such as dill pickle pizza and three smash burger options:
- Classic Smash
- Cheese Loves Smash
- Pulled Pork Smash
