Indigenous Day Live is coming up on Saturday, and they've got a stellar list of artists playing Festival Stage in the evening. The show runs from 7:30 to 10:30, but they have activities like traditional storytelling and games, Indigenous Day Live Pow Wow, a skateboard competition, artisans, food vendors, the Winnipeg “Best Bannock” competition, the APTN Kids tent and much more going on all day.
Some of the artists playing are local and some are from afar. Here's who Indigenous Day Live is treating you to:
