YXE Summer Vibes for Social Media

When summer hits Saskatoon, it’s more than just a change in temperature—it’s a full-blown vibe. The city wakes up in the best way, and your content should too. Whether you're a creator, a business owner, or managing someone else's brand, now's the time to tap into the seasonal magic. Here's how to spot summer in Saskatoon—and turn it into share-worthy, community-driven content.

​Dogs on Patios

Saskatoon’s patios become hotspots for sun lovers and their four-legged friends. If you run a dog-friendly business, show it off! Post snaps of pups soaking up the sun or sipping from water bowls while their humans brunch. Not in the food scene? You can still curate local lists or highlight pet-friendly spots around the city. Bonus points for using dog-related captions or voiceovers—people love that content.
​
Try this:

• Post a Reel: “Top 3 Dog-Friendly Patios in Saskatoon”
• Share a customer pic (with permission!) of their pup at your location
• Ask your audience: “What’s your fave patio to hit with your dog?”

Short Shorts & Bold Looks

It’s jorts season, baby. Crop tops, oversized sunglasses, bucket hats—Saskatoon summer fashion is on full display. For creators and fashion-forward businesses, it’s the perfect time to show off your style. Outfit of the Day (OOTD) posts, behind-the-scenes of a photoshoot, or even a quick Reel of you getting ready—this is your cue to lean into bold summer looks.
​
Try this:

• Do a “Fit Check” Reel with trending audio
• Tag local brands and shops when showing off a look
• Host a “Style Spotlight” featuring your staff or customers

City Exploring

From river walks to downtown murals, Saskatoon is very photogenic in the summer. Locals and visitors alike are out snapping photos, biking along the Meewasin, or grabbing iced coffee by the river. It’s a content goldmine. Even if you’re not a tourism-based brand, these backdrops add a local and lifestyle feel to your content.
​
Try this:

• Map your “Top 5 Photo Spots in YXE”
• Post a time-lapse from your scenic commute
• Share behind-the-scenes from a mobile shoot or Reels walk

Out of Office Energy

Summer in Saskatchewan means camping trips, cabin weekends, and hammock naps. For businesses, this is your moment to show the human side of your brand. Whether you're unplugging for the weekend or just stepping outside during lunch, authentic lifestyle content builds connection.
​
Try this:

• Post a weekend “Unplugged Recap” Carousel
• Share your go-to snack for road trips or lake days
• Use relaxed visuals with soft music or ambient sounds

Nightlife & Events

Summer nights are packed with energy—from music festivals to block parties. If your business is part of these events, capture the action! Not involved directly? That’s okay. Your presence at local events still makes great content. Use video, audio, and movement to show your brand in the mix with the community.
​
Try this:

• Film a 15-second recap: “Weekend in 3 Clips”
• Go live or post Stories from a local event
• Share a carousel of your fave moments and tag collaborators

Final Tip: Keep It Real & Local

You don’t have to create big production pieces to show up online this summer. The key is leaning into what's already happening around you. Think warmth, spontaneity, and joy. Saskatoon knows how to do summer—and your feed can reflect that.
