This year marks the 29th Annual Soaring Spirit Festival/Gathering. It has become one of the largest attended Indigenous community celebrations within Hamilton and has had an attendance of up to 500 people each day. This Indigenous Cultural event helps to bring Indigenous ways of life and Indigenous ways of being to the City of Hamilton through drumming, singing, storytelling, crafting, feasting and socializing (exchanging wisdom and knowledge) – a way in which Indigenous groups across Turtle Island have always gathered.
