July 22 & 23, 2022 | 10am – 5pm

Ganondagan’s Indigenous Music & Arts Festival showcases Haudenosaunee and Indigenous cultures through dance, music, storytelling, traditional craft demonstrations, a Native American Arts Market, children’s activities, raffles, guided trail walks, gallery tours, Indigenous food, and more.

This year’s festival features storytellers Ronnie Reitter (Seneca) & Tonia Galban (Mohawk), and Haudenosaunee social dancers, Indigenous Spirit Dancers. Artist demonstrations will include moccasin making with Samantha Jacobs (Seneca), leatherwork with Cliff Redeye (Seneca), and finger weaving with Marilyn Issacs (Tuscarora) & more! Lake Ontario Press will be back doing onsite screen printed shirts so bring a light colored 100% cotton t-shirt of yours (or pick one up at a thrift shop) and get a new to you shirt with a beautiful crow image by Peter Jemison. There will be shirts available to purchase if you can’t bring your own. This year’s event is free but if you are able, please consider donating.
