Features of the Metis Arts Festival
The traditional toe-tapping sounds of the fiddle, swirling Métis dancers, traditional foods and crafts are tastefully contrasted with contemporary Métis film, painting, carving and photography: all in the affordable, relaxing, natural setting of this 1860’s pioneer village where the whole family (doggie too!) can explore, learn and experience. Visual Arts, Theater, First Nations Dancing and Music, Inuit Throat Singing, Multimedia Presentations, Traditional and Contemporary Métis music, and foods. more info here >>>
