2016 Victoria Aboriginal Cultural Festival

June 17, 2016- 11:00 am - June 19, 2016- 6:00 pm

Join the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations in celebrating National Aboriginal Day weekend in downtown Victoria from June 17-19!

Enjoy three days of spectacular performances on an outdoor stage in the plaza at the Royal BC Museum in the heart of downtown Victoria, BC. Each day starts with performances from the two local Host Nations and follows with shows from Aboriginal performers from across the province as well as a show from 3-time World Hoop Dancing Champion Alex Wells!Best of all – It’s free!

Aboriginal artisans will be on-site with their goods for sale – carvings, prints, jewelry and more. Plus, you can watch special artisan demonstrations and learn more about the creative process from the artisans themselves.

Sample the culinary talents of the Songhees Nation. Mouth watering BBQ salmon burger, fry bread, and the traditional clam chowder that always steals the show!
