Description

August 1 - 3, 2026

In 1961, Wikwemikong Band Member Rosemary Odjig sought to revitalize the Pow Wow in Wikwemikong and held the very first “Wikwemikong Indian Days” held during the summer of that year. Since then, the name would change to the Wikwemikong Annual Cultural Festival and would be revered as one of the largest, longest-running Pow Wows in Northeastern North America. Come out for Anishinaabe arts & crafts, champion Anishinaabe dance, Anishinaabe cuisine, Wiikwemkoong Art Gallery, cross-cultural performances, and more.
