As far as I can tell from my home in Toronto, the first free event for the 2013 Grey Cup Festival in Regina will be the opening celebration of “Spectate” at the MacKenzie Art Gallery on Nov. 1st. Belinda Kriek’s art exhibit mirrors the passion of sports fans as spectators.

The 2013 Grey Cup Festival in Regina

Grey Cup 2013 will be held on Nov. 24, 2013 in Mosaic Stadium in Regina. If you plan to attend, as-yet-unsold tickets are available online through the official 101st Grey Cup web site.

They advertise the Grey Cup Festival as running from Nov. 20-24, but other events run before that extended weekend. This blog prefers to point to the cheapest Grey Cup Festival events; expensive occasions can pay for their own advertising.

Already, as of today Oct. 21, the Grey Cup Festival organizers have closed City Square Plaza to vehicular traffic at 12th Avenue and Scarth Street. Walk on over and look at the festival tents; let us know what’s going on just north of Victoria Park.

Of course, the Grey Cup is an annual event to decide the winning team of the Canadian Football League. Last year, Toronto fans seemed to appreciate my “Free Events for the 2012 Grey Cup Festival in Toronto” article, so let’s see the reaction for Regina.

Spectate during Grey Cup 2013 at the MacKenzie Art Gallery

The Spectate exhibit opens Oct. 26, 2013 and runs through Dec. 1, 2013.

The MacKenzie Art Gallery is at 3475 Albert Street, Regina, SK. It’s at the south-west corner of Wascana Park, just north of Saskatchewan Road.

As far as I can tell from their web site, they normally charge no admission; so Spectate might be free for its full run. The opening ceremony includes free food and a cash bar as special inducements to attend on Nov. 1. (I’ve sent a query by e-mail and will update once I learn more).

Ideas for a Toronto Vacation or Staycation

This blog often tracks annual Toronto events that I find interesting, and provides ideas for fascinating, free or frugal things to do in Toronto. I especially like to cover summer attractions and special events in Toronto Canada; but especially for Canadian holidays.

CityPASS offers discount tickets to Toronto attractions, including Metro Toronto Zoo coupons. You buy the voucher online, print it and take it to your first destination; let’s say it’s the zoo. They give you the coupon booklet but remove the Metro Toronto Zoo discount tickets. Visit the next four attractions, where helpful staff relieve your booklet of tickets but leave you with the rest of the information. You save over $40 by spending about $70. The voucher is good for almost two years, but you have to use all the discount admission tickets within nine days. This is terrific for tourists looking for multiple things to do in Toronto, or for a hometown stay-cation: use discount tickets to Casa Loma, the CN Tower, the Metro Toronto Zoo, the Ontario Science Centre and the Royal Ontario Museum in a nine day adventure. That’s five things to do while vacationing in Toronto Canada, and at a bargain price thanks to the discount coupons.
