Aboriginal Arts and Culture Day

Aboriginal Arts and Culture Day is an event that offers community members a chance to immerse themselves in Indigenous art, culture, history, and traditions. Attendees will have the rare and unique opportunity to watch Indigenous artists create their work on site and purchase directly from the artists. The event will also feature Stó꞉lō storytellers, including Sonny McHalsie (Naxaxalhts’i), a cultural advisor and historian.

Other festivities throughout the day will include drum making workshops, and a carver’s tent; there will be a children’s tent offering free activities for kids such as crafting stations and games. There will also be delicious food available from the Stó꞉lō Bannock Food Truck. The goal of this event is to bring the community together to showcase Indigenous art, culture, and traditions.
