Sault Ste. Marie is home to the Bon Soo winter carnival, held every February. The city also hosts the annual Algoma Fall Festival which draws local and international performing artists. The Kiwanis Community Theatre and the landmark Central United Church are used for the performances. Both venues hold approximately 1,000 people. The Art Gallery of Algoma features an extensive collection of local and international artists' work and presents regular exhibitions. Residents celebrate Community Day on the third weekend of July. The local Rotary International club organizes a three-day event called Rotary fest.

It is also the birthplace of the first youth police cadet group in Canada, the Sault Squires Police Cadet Corps. The rock band Treble Charger was originally from Sault Ste. Marie, and the metal band Woods of Ypres were based out of Sault Ste. Marie from 2008 until their disbandment in 2011
