The inaugural Athabasca Tribal Council (ATC) Cultural Festival has been deemed a success.
The festival, presented by Syncrude, saw over 5,000 attendees over its three days at Snye Point Park.
“It was so exciting seeing so many people, gathering together to celebrate the beautiful arts and culture and traditional cultural practices of our region’s Dene, Cree and Métis people,” says Karla Buffalo, CEO of Athabasca Tribal Council.
It included over 20 workshops and demonstrations as well as live musical performances.
There was also traditional dancing, drumming, hand games and a gift shop.
Work on next year’s event will start later this fall.
