Join us this weekend for an authentic aboriginal experience at the Summer Solstice Arts Festival Festival in Vincent Massey Park! The 21st of June has always marked a significant time, when Aboriginal People across Canada have traditionally gathered and celebrated the Summer Solstice.
The Summer Solstice Aboriginal Arts Festival has been providing families a unique opportunity to experience and celebrate the diverse Aboriginal cultures of the National Capital Region. For 15 years ongoing, lively and interactive programming will keep your family entertained throughout the day including extensive Family activities (Big Sky Ranch, pony rides, animal display, bouncy castles, Elephant Thoughts – giant glow in the dark planetarium, polar bear and human hamster balls + body zorbs! ) Aboriginal artisan village (featuring interactive arts workshops, demonstrations and vendors) and our popular Main Stage featuring Amanda Rheaume, Donny Parenteau, Crystal Shawanda, Leanne Goose,Vince Fontaine’s Indian city, Sagkeengs Finest (Canada’s Got Talent Winners), plus Aboriginal Canada We’ve Got Talent! and ongoing cultural showcases throughout the day.
The Summer Solstice Aboriginal Arts Festival is one of the few Aboriginal Arts Events that truly represents the cultural diversity of our urban Aboriginal community, with full participation of First Nations, Métis and Inuit artists. This diversity within our own cultures is reflected in all elements of the event, from leadership (National Aboriginal Day Committee of National Aboriginal Organizations), to the selection of artists, representing each of the Aboriginal communities. Each year, we showcase at least one headline act from Métis, Inuit and First Nations communities and ensure that cultural workshop leaders and artists also reflect this diversity.
Featured artists in this years festival include Bear Creek, Leanne Goose, Amanda Rheaume , Crystal Shawanda, Sagkeeng’s Finest Vince Fontaine’s Indian City, and Donny Parenteau.
