Rising Nations Festival

CANCELLED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE

Indigenous youth in Fort Erie have created a new event to unify our communities! “Honoring our past, celebrating our present, building our future!”

Rising Nations Festival will launch Sat. 25 July, at the Mather Arch Park in Fort Erie, 8am – 7pm, where the Niagara River meets Lake Erie, near The Peace Bridge.

Join us for a full day of culture – dancers, singers, vendors, food, knowledge sharing – a good day for friends and family.

One Circle, Many Nations, Stronger Together!
