Performers on Parade features professional performers in the areas of music, dance, theatre, and more! Each week a different performer will visit each library in the city.
Sure, he’s been a professional orchestra conductor for many years (Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra 2015 – 2022, founder of the JUNO-nominated group of 27 Orchestra, etc.) but Eric Paetkau can’t get enough of the pure joy and laughter that comes with performing for kids. Combining his interactive, original songs and goofy stories, Eric’s live shows are a hoot. He’s also got a weekly online show for kids, writes children's books, and uses a banana phone.
Eric’s silly alter ego, Mr. Eric, is just a big kid who loves sharing music and stories. His infectious energy gets people singing, dancing, and yearning for ice cream.
Free tickets are available a half-hour before the event begins.

The Alice Turner Library replaced the smaller Sutherland Branch in December 1998. It was named after Alice Turner McFarland who was a library employee for 37 years and Saskatoon Public Library's chief librarian from 1981 to 1989. The first library in Canada to be built to the standards of C-2000 construction, Canada's environmental building code, the Alice Turner Library was expanded to double its original size in 2013.
