Wikwemikong Annual Pow Wow
The Wikwemikong Annual Competition Pow Wow is held every first weekend in August.
It is one of the largest and longest running Pow Wows held in North America.
Traditional, Fancy, Jingle Dress and Grass Dancers as well as host and
invited drum groups compete in their different categories for allotted
prize money.
Dances and an evening concert top off the weekend festivities. Originally, Pow
Wows were gatherings in which people met to socialize and trade. This remains
true to this day, with drummers and dancers from not only across Canada,
but the United States converging on this event. A wide variety of native
cuisine's and colourful crafts make our Pow Wow one of the most popular
in North America.
