International Peace Garden
The festival for the weekend is free but there is a $10.00/car load fee to access the International Peace Garden. In addition to this – there is one evening event at the Berdick Performing Arts Center – Dinner and Show for $25/person. The meal will consist of buffalo roast with all the trimmings. If you only want to go to the show – the cost is $15/person. There is limited seating for this event.
We will continue throughout the next months remind you to continue to go to Métis Fest’s website at: http://www.metisfest.com/.
There is an International Committee; International Performers and all good things willing – International crowds.
Dan Gooden, Canadian Co-organizer has expressed the following:“We as Metis/michif people will finally get a North American Gathering point to connect with OUR relatives we know are out there but have not been able to meet or greet yet!“
“The Peace Garden Horticultural staff have agreed to grow, at the front entrance to the Gardens - a Metis Infinity Flag that measures 12' x 20' also one side angled off the ground about 4 to 5 feet for all 150,000 tourist to view this summer!”
Go Metis Pride Go!
This looks like a true International Gathering Point where being METIS and sharing in our proud culture and heritage is the only objective.
COME ONE - COME ALL
This festival is for the North American Metis/Michif to create Memories, Friendship, Entertainment, Excitement, and to meet family from across the Métis Homeland on both sides of the border!
