CELEBRATE INDIGENOUS CULTURE & HERITAGE
Summer Solstice Indigenous Festival (SSIF) is a multi-disciplinary arts festival that brings together Indigenous artists, performers, educators, students, and community members to share knowledge and celebrate Canada’s diverse Indigenous cultures.
SSIF will take place at Wesley Clover Parks, located in Ottawa’s west end, with ample PAID onsite parking and camping grounds. Spanning nearly 500 acres, the park features tree-lined areas, open fields, and a 10,000-square-foot covered pavilion, making it an ideal venue for the festival. Its flexibility ensures a perfect setting for the International Competition Pow Wow, rain or shine.
