Celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day at Heritage Park with a full day of community-led programming, rooted in tradition and open to all. The centrepiece of the day is a vibrant Pow Wow — a powerful gathering that brings together dancers, drummers and community in celebration of culture, identity and connection.
Traditional Pow Wow Celebration: 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Experience the energy and tradition of an Indigenous Pow Wow — a cultural gathering that includes competitive and intertribal dancing, traditional music and deep-rooted community ties.
Guests are encouraged to bring blankets, folding chairs, and non-alcoholic drinks or snacks. Seating is festival-style and first-come.
