Rendezvous At The Straits Powwow and Indigenous Art Show

Start: Friday, August 22, 2025 9:00AM
End: Friday, August 22, 2025 9:00PM

August 22-24, 2025 Experience the spirit of tradition at the Rendezvous, a public event welcoming all with admission by donation. This authentic Native American Powwow showcases traditional dancing, drumming, and singing. Explore vendor demonstrations, hand-crafted arts and crafts, and delicious Native American cuisine. A family-friendly, alcohol- and drug-free gathering, the event is proudly sponsored by the St. Ignace Events Committee, the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, and Kewadin Casinos. In addition to the powwow, there is also a Indigenous Art Show, featuring unique and culturally significant pieces from local indigenous artists and artists from abroad. One of the main objectives is to develop and strengthen systems of communication. The relationships that are generated and cultivated through these displays and their accompanying educational workshops open an integral line of communication between the indigenous communities and artists, and the spectators and attendees of the show, who often foster lifelong connections and friendships with the artists.
