Englefeld (2011 population 247) is a village in St. Peter Rural Municipality No. 369, Saskatchewan, Canada, located thirty-two kilometres east of the city of Humboldt on Highway 5.
The community was named for Peter Engel, an abbot of Saint John's Abbey, located in Collegeville, Minnesota. It is not known why Engel's name was spelled differently in the village's name. The surrounding area was settled by German Catholic immigrants in 1902-1903, and Englefeld was one of several communities within the tract known as St. Peter's Colony.
Hog Fest - The Englefeld Hog Fest was originally organized by Father Florian Renneberg in 1972. The 40th annual fundraising event brought in 1270 people over July long weekend (July 1–3, 2011) which included Canada day fireworks, carnival/farmers market festivities, culminating in a feast with 16 smoked pigs, and closing out with a pancake breakfast. As part of the 25th Hog Fest (celebrated in 1996) a 7 ft tall (17 ft long) fiberglass pig was erected on top of the Koenders Manufacturing building located in Englefeld along Highway 5.
