Grey Cup Festival 101: Rolling Out The Green Carpet


We’re ready to roll out the green carpet and spread the fandom far and wide for all things Grey Cup. Questions about the festivities? We’ve got you covered!


We’re your guide to the 2022 Grey Cup Festival.

When it comes to major sporting events in Canada, nothing tops the Grey Cup. Whether you’re a football fan, or just there for the food and half-time show – all are welcome for this momentous event. As a gold sponsor, SaskTel is rolling out the green carpet for the 109th Grey Cup. We’ll be treating this like the Oscars pre-party… but Saskatchewan-style. We’re bringing CFL fans together and it seems only fitting to give you the complete lowdown (or… touchdown) on all things Grey Cup Festival.

First things first, let’s start off by sharing the Grey Cup Festivities Schedule:
