ABOUT BRUNO CHERRY SUNDAY

A Day of Cheery Cherry Fun!

Bruno Cherry Sunday is more than just a festival; it's a cherry-centric heartwarming gathering that brings our community together, draws in visitors from across the prairies, and raises vital funds for local organizations. Set against the beautiful backdrop of the historic former St. Ursula Academy and Convent grounds (now St. Therese Institute of Faith and Mission), this event truly embodies the spirit of Bruno.

From the moment you arrive, you'll be immersed in the cheerful atmosphere that makes Bruno Cherry Sunday a cherished (or as we like to say, cherry-ished) tradition. We can't wait to see you there!

Originally a casual afternoon event in 2003, Bruno Cherry Sunday has grown over the years, at times expanding into a full weekend "Bruno Cherry Festival," before returning to its roots as the one-day "Bruno Cherry Sunday." The historic grounds of the former Ursuline Convent, now home to St. Therese Institute of Faith and Mission, serve as the primary venue, boasting the very orchards that inspired the festival. The success of the dwarf sour cherry varieties, developed by the University of Saskatchewan for harsh prairie growing conditions, is a central theme of the event.
