It's expected to be a hot weekend in many parts of Saskatchewan, and if you're able to get out and enjoy it, there are plenty of options for you.

Here are some ideas to take full advantage of the heat:

Craven Country Jamboree

Canada's longest running multi-day music festival is underway in the Qu'Appelle Valley. 

While many people already had their spots picked out earlier this week, there are still some camping spaces left to scoop up and weekend passes are still available.

The Jamboree kicked off Thursday night, but the biggest acts are set to take the stage over the next few days.

Dallas Smith and Florida Georgia Line headline the show Friday night. On Saturday, country music superstar Blake Shelton takes the stage and on Sunday night, Colt Ford and Jason Aldean wrap up the festival.

Regina Fringe Festival

The Regina Fringe Festival is celebrating its 11th year putting on affordable and alternative live theatre weekend. 

The festival brings in performers from touring companies from all over the world offers events for all ages.

There are many shows to take in, and you can find the full list on the website.

During the day, there are workshop being offered in hoop dance or African drumming with the kids.

Festival Fete Fransaskoise

The outdoor event is the annual festival for Francophones and Franchophiles from across the province.

It's an opportunity to experience the arts, culture and sports in French regardless of your comprehension level.

Check it out at Circle H Ranch Circle Road, Highway #11 Louis Riel Trail on Saturday.

Canada Remembers our Heroes Airshow

Last year the event was cancelled, but this year it's back at the Auto Clearing Motor Speedway with appearances by the Snowbirds, Canadian Armed Forces SkyHawks Parachute Team, and the CF-18 Hornets.

The event honours veterans with two days of performances.

There will be a Parade of Heroes each day at 1:00 p.m. CST.

The aerial performance times are still to be confirmed.

Free Fishing Weekend

Cast those lines because Free Fishing Weekend is back in Saskatchewan.

The province announced it will also host another free weekend later this summer, due to the wildfire conditions up north.

For those taking advantage this weekend, the province is asking all anglers to avoid all wildfire-affected areas in northern Saskatchewan.
