About Us
we are the gateway festival
Gateway Festival takes place on the fourth weekend of July every summer in beautiful Bengough, Saskatchewan. We have a committed focus on music, family, and community.
The festival began 18 years ago as a community fundraiser and has grown to an annual event that draws thousands of folks to our friendly town with a population of 332. In addition to the music that happens across three stages, we have food trucks, artisans, pancake breakfasts, a car show, children’s activities and much more. Be sure to visit the outdoor swimming pool, explore the Bengough & District Museum, shop on Main Street, and make a trip to the Big Muddy.
Festival Essentials
BRING THE FAMILY
We are proud to be a family friendly event. Gateway Festival offers children's entertainers on Saturday and has activities, a bouncy castle, and more all weekend long.
CAMPING
Camping is available adjacent to the festival. Camping is run by the Bengough Parks Board. Electrical sites are sold out. However, there is LOTS of space remaining and sites are available on a first come/first serve basis. More details are available here.
FOOD TRUCKS & ARTISANS
Gateway Festival is pleased to host a variety of food trucks, vendors, and artisans on the festival grounds. To apply as an artisan or food vendor please send an email to us here. gatewayfestivalvendors@gmail.com
If you forget anything you may need the festival is just a five minute walk from downtown Bengough. We encourage you to explore the town which offers a grocery store, Bengough Drugs, a coffee shop, and many other local businesses. It is also where you find the famed outdoor pool.
