Lac Ste. Anne Métis Community Association’s second annual Mâmawihitowin Summer Gathering returns to Heritage Park in Stony Plain, AB on Saturday, July 26 from 11:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Mâmawihitowin, a Cree term meaning a gathering of peoples, celebrates the rich history, heritage, and contributions of the Lac Ste. Anne Métis community. Emceed by the talented comedian Lars Calliou, this year’s lineup of performers includes Stirling John, Jess Lee, Calvin Vollrath, Brianna Lizotte, and more! On-site attractions include Métis jigging, voyageur games, burlap beading, horse and wagon rides, horseback rides, an Indigenous vendor market, and the chance to watch talented artists demonstrate the art of their crafts. A dedicated kids’ zone is available during the afternoon, including face painting and other fun activities. There is no charge for entrance, and all entrants are eligible for door prize draws!
New to Mâmawihitowin this year is the serving of free Bannock from 12:00-2:00 p.m. at the Pavilion. Heritage Park features both indoor and outdoor facilities, enabling performances to be relocated indoors in the event of adverse weather conditions. Whether you come for the music or dancing, interactive and fun attractions, vendors, or to make new connections, we promise that you will leave richer for the experience!
