Bruno is the only community in the prairies to hold an annual cherry festival.

Bruno Clayworks, located 4 km west of Bruno, produced over one million bricks between the years 1905 and the 1960s. The historic Old Fire Hall and Jail, a heritage building housing the Bruno Museum, was built from bricks manufactured at the brick plant, as were many other area buildings. The bricks manufactured by the Bruno Clayworks were a unique sideways "T" shape which allowed rows of bricks to interlock when rotated 180º.
