ENJOY

There is always something happening in Watrous Manitou. A few events are date specific so you’ll want to mark your calendar! Look for your favorite band at Danceland, the Spirit of Manitou Studio Trail, Watrous Fun Run, Live Performances, and Gallery on 3rd Exhibitions.

WATROUS FUN RUN SHOW’N SHINE

The Annual Watrous Fun Run Show ‘n’ Shine car show takes over Main Street Watrous on the last Saturday of July each year. The largest car show in rural Saskatchewan is not only a showcase for car aficionados but also a full day of family-oriented events. Classic cars, trucks, motorcycles, hot rods and customs with specialty cars and antique tractors draw a huge crowd of visitors to town. Entries for this very popular show come from across Western Canada with the occasional American entry. Distance is not a barrier to these proud vehicle owners who love to share their entry’s story with all who are willing to listen. Another crowd pleaser is Kevin Therris and Prairieland Motorsports with their Biodiesel Jet Car. Supplementing the incredible walk through automotive history is a wide variety of other activities. Beeper the Clown entertains the youngsters with regularly scheduled shows throughout the afternoon. The entrants wrap up their day with a cruise from Watrous to Manitou Beach.
