The Talking Stick Festival’s opening gala is an evening of great entertainment and celebration!
Come gather with us at the Rising — Chén̓chenstway Visual Arts Exhibit to sample a selected showcase of 2020 festival performers while enjoying a buffet dinner.
This year’s gala performances feature storyteller and writer Joseph Dandurand from the Kwantlen First Nation, M’Girl’s talented ensemble of Indigenous women whose hand drum songs blend with potent harmonies into a contemporary gospel style, Mortal Coil and Tsatsu Stalqayu (Coastal Wolfpack), and the dynamic Louis Riel Métis Dancers will share their Métis jigging and social dancing, getting the audience up on their feet.
Join in and celebrate the launch of the 19th year of Western Canada’s premiere Indigenous Arts festival!
