Aboriginal Pavilion to Host Epic 10-Day Indigenous Music and Arts Festival in Toronto
/
The 2015 Pan Am/Parapan Am Games in Toronto will get a huge dose of Indigenous culture this summer, during the Aboriginal Pavilion's inaugural arts and music festival.
We heard word about the Aboriginal Pavilion's plans a while ago, but we didn't realize the extent of what they were planning.
The festival is going to be huge.
Coinciding with the 2015 Pan Am & Parapan Games in Toronto, the Aboriginal Pavilion will bring together some of the most dynamic Indigenous artists and musicians from across Turtle Island to perform over the course of ten music-filled days—from July 17-26, 2015.
In addition to the music, the organizers are also planning to feature comedy, visual arts, traditional crafts workshops, artist talks, film screenings and a curated exhibition.
Keep an eye on the Aboriginal Pavilion site for the release of the full schedule, but for now, check out the festival concert listings. All events are free and open to the public. Performances will take place at the Fort York Historic Site's Garrison Common grounds (250 Fort York Blvd, Toronto).
And just look at who's performing. It's going to get hot in Toronto this summer. Be there or be colonized.
