I’ve been attending the festival over the past decade. Always a well run, entertaining show being put on by amazing artists of every genre. Whether you’re walking around the park or setting up chairs to see the show up close, they have great sound throughout the park!

If you haven't been to this place yet, you need to go! That is if you love Native art in all it's glory ???? I love stopping here when my husband and friends are out on our motorcycles. They have jewelry, clothes, paintings, figures, sculptures - so many cool things to see and purchase. They also have a little restaurant if you're hungry and washrooms (which are great if you've been travelling for awhile). There is lots of parking available and they are across from Burleigh Falls which is a great place to visit as well. They fully accessible too.
