Saskatoon Pride 2018 occurred over the last couple weeks and the culminating weekend was this last Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The Pride Parade on Saturday had over a hundred entries and more than 5000 people marched in the parade.
Saskatoon Pride organization had various events planned each day throughout the festival, finishing with the final event,
Detox roof top pool party at Hilton Garden Inn on Sunday.

Saskatoon's Gay bars each planned their own events for the celebrations and included:

Broadway Theatre in Saskatoon is venue for the
Trixie Mattel Moving Parts North American Tour .
Looks like she's going to all the main States & Provinces in her extensive, all four corners & almost everywhere in-between, North America Tour.
I'd imagine Trixie Mattel is probably the most sought after Ru Paul's Drag Race personality since she is the most recent/current drag race all-star winner... & she beats her face the best (except for Kim Chi of course).

I haven't really followed Ru Paul's Drag Race over the past decade, maybe seeing only a couple/few episodes per season at most, but tagging along with friends I've probably met/seen drag contestants in all of the seasons, some of the contestants before they had even been on the show.
I met Peppermint at Therapy in NYC 10 years ago before her trans-transitioning. Latrice Royale I met with a San Francisco gay circuit-party organization during a 7 day cruise (her pianist partner is so knees-weakening gorgeous & both are sweet hearts). I've done shots with Bianca Del Rio at her home club. Courtney Act (Shane) we met & spent one afternoon on the slopes together in Whistler, BC (and subsequently visited him in hospital later that evening).
Shannel and Coco Montrese I've seen during trips to Vegas.
I know some of the promoters that bring drag performers to Saskatchewan and have heard of the crazy/fun antics of performers like Jinx Monsoon, Shangela & really fish performers like Willam during Regina's Queen City Pride.
With Saskatoon's two main gay-bar complexes competing for entertainment, I've probably seen more than Saskatoon's fair share of Ru Paul's Drag race performers that have come, such as Nina Flowers, Jujubee, Manila Luzon, Rhea Litré, Morgan McMichaels, Kimora Blac, Yara Sofia, Katya, Derrick Barry, Sharon Needles, Chad Michaels and Club Kid stars such as Amanda Lepore, and of course touring gay porn stars...such as Moose Jaw's Brent Everett for example.
