Must-Sees at Aboriginal Day Live

Posted on Jun 15, 2017 by The Forks Market

The lineup for APTN Aboriginal Day Live has us counting the days until the artists take the stage. As of now, that number is five. FIVE days until Nelly Furtado, Daniel ROA, Neon Dreams, Asham Stompers, Nelson Tagoona, and Burt-Project 1, and more have us swaying and singing along on Wednesday, June 21, for the largest celebration of National Aboriginal Day in Canada's history.

Aboriginal Day Live is a celebration of Indigenous art, dance, music, and culture. On National Aboriginal Day, we gather together to celebrate the outstanding achievements and rich culture of the First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples of Canada by being in great company, eating great food, and singing and dancing together.

In these next five days, hit play on these tunes and prep yourself for all the great artists taking the Aboriginal Day Live stage. Then on Wednesday, June 21, come celebrate with us!
