Celebrate Thanksgiving: Five things to do this weekend in Saskatoon, Oct. 11-14

Take in a haunted house event, an anniversary gala, a comedy show, a season-opening play and a glow show at the Shakespeare festival site.

Catch the end of the Culture Days festival, which runs until Sunday, or the last days of the Strawberry Ranch corn maze, which is open through Thanksgiving Monday. There are also a few other ideas for long-weekend activities below.

1 — Get into the Halloween spirit

The Theatre of Madness Haunted House opens Friday. Designed to entertain all ages, the haunted house offers a milder haunt for kids during the day and a spookier, jumpier haunt in the evening, complete with actors, for older audiences. The event runs through Halloween Night at the Centre Mall. Learn more at saskatoonhauntedhouse.com.
