International Peace Pow-wow

Feb 24, 2024 to Feb 25, 2024

Flashing colours, ethereal chanting and the thunder of drums saturate the Enmax Centre every February, as Niitsitapi (People of the Blackfoot Confederacy) from both sides of the border gather to celebrate their culture.

The Pow-Wow lasts two days and gives attendees a glimpse into traditional regalia, music and art that has defined the area for thousands of years. If you’ve never attended an Indigenous event before, find out more about Pow-Wow etiquette here.
