Summer Solstice Indigenous Festival (SSIF) is a multi-disciplinary arts festival that brings together Indigenous artists, performers, educators, students, and community members to share knowledge and celebrate Canada’s diverse Indigenous cultures.

The festival is free for everyone, but there will be some workshops, food and shopping of authentic Indigenous-made goods available on site for an extra cost. You can pre-purchase some of these items to make sure you don’t miss out, but you can also purchase these while on site as well.

 Here are some of the great events to look forward to at SSIF:

• International Competition Pow Wow with NEW Smoke Dance category
• 150 Years of the Indian Act Pavilions
• Glow-in-the-Dark Pow Wow Dance Party with Classic Roots
• ReconciliACTION-themed Drone Show
• Minopogwad (Good Taste) culinary event
• Live performances on the Celebration Stage
• Cultural workshops and demonstrations
• Indigenous Marketplace featuring 75+ vendors
• Ojibwe Spirit Horse encounters
• Family-friendly programming all weekend long
