The Green Corn Ceremony & Dinner

Join us for a shared meal and celebration with Chief Roger Longtoe and members of the Elnu Abenaki as they present the Green Corn Ceremony — a traditional celebration of gratitude, renewal, and the first corn harvest of the season.

The Green Corn Ceremony is a sacred and time-honored practice among many Native American communities. During this gathering, the first ears of corn are ceremonially offered in thanks, honoring the land, the ancestors, and the cycle of life. More than a harvest festival, this event is a powerful expression of cultural identity — a time to gather in community, give thanks, and pass traditions forward.

Don’t miss this opportunity to experience a living tradition and share in a meaningful evening of storytelling, ceremony, and connection. Doors open at 5:30, ceremony and dinner begin at 6 PM in the Common. We will move indoors in the event of rain.

Special ticket required. Available at https://www.fortat4.org/ or at the Fort at No 4 Visitor Center and Gift Shop.
