“撸奶社区Harvest Moon Festival will be honouring this day of Truth and Reconciliation in meaningful ways throughout — with invited Elders, dancers, drummers and singers,” said producer Kirsten Andrews in a news release. “We’ve always been personally invested in building new relationships and fostering those we already have, particularly with the 撸奶社区Nation whose unceded and ancestral territory we are fortunate to be on.”
The local festival is still looking for volunteers. A five-hour shift will get volunteers access to the festival. More details can be found on the event’s .
“We are still in the process of recovering from COVID and what amounted to a very ambitious return in 2022. While we were not able to put on a Constellation Festival this summer, we are thrilled to be producing the 撸奶社区Harvest Moon Festival. It means everything to be able to showcase such incredible live music and celebrate the end of a beautiful summer together,” said Andrews.
There will be hay bales and picnic tables to sit on, but camping chairs are welcome too, the release states.
