An annual fixture in the Queen City, organizers for the Cathedral Village Arts Festival are saying the 2024 iteration of the week long event exceeded expectations – and then some.
It’s an event that sees tens of thousands of visitors fill 13th Avenue. This year was no different.
“A spectacular festival this year. Absolutely exceeded expectations,” festival director Don Young told CTV News.
Young said that an estimated 50,000 people attended the weeklong celebration in Regina’s Cathedral Neighbourhood.
“We had people with clickers trying to keep track, but there were so many people that we couldn’t,” he explained. “We know 30,000 is the norm … I as director think 50K is a good solid number.”
Among the highlights was a performance from singer-songwriter Andy Shauf.
The artist, originally from Estevan, acted as the festival’s “headliner” and brought in quite the crowd, according to Young.
