The sākihiwē festival is taking everything online this year and Elisapie, Adrian Sutherland, PIQSIQ, Desiree Dorion, The Northwest Kid, Eastern Owl, Melody McKiver, Jade Turner, Sebastian Gaskin, Drezus, Alexis Lynn, and Spence Tradition are among the 24 artists who are set to perform. The broadcast will run August 28, 29, and 30 and audiences will be able to tune in for free on Facebook and YouTube.
We support collective efforts to flatten the curve of the COVID-19 pandemic and we have decided to push the sākihiwē festival back to the last weekend in August. Everything is now set for August 28-30 instead of our original dates in June.
