Wiikwemkoong Annual Cultural Festival Pow Wow
Description

August 2 - 4, 2025 

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. Anishinaabe arts & crafts, champion Anishinaabe dance, Anishinaabe cuisine, Wiikwemkoong Art Gallery, cross-cultural performances. Also, look out for community specials, committee specials and included in your ticket admission, Wikwemikong Tourism hosts authentic, memorable and engaging experiences at the Cultural Pavilion. Our authentic experiences reflect the history, cultural lifestyles and traditions of the Anishnaabek people of the Three Fires Confederacy-Ojibwe, Odawa and Pottawatomi peoples. Located in the park.
