Next weekend, winter comes to life at the Frost Regina Festival. Sask Parks and the Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) are excited to bring the magic of our provincial parks to the city!
Frost Regina celebrations run at four hubs around the city from February 4-13.
On February 5, events and activities will be taking place in and around the RSM in the Wascana Centre hub at Frost Regina. These include guided snowshoe hikes, crafts, winter camping demonstrations, and much more.
