On Friday evening at 7:30 pm, Alan Syliboy and the Thundermakers will perform a show with special guest Morgan Toney (an emerging Mi’kmaq fiddler and singer who brings together the fiery fiddling of Cape Breton Island with the old songs of the Mi’kmaq with brilliance and heart).

On Saturday there is a Treaty Day Mawio’mi with the Grand Entry starting at 12 pm. The MC is Michael R Denny, Host Drum is the Stoney Bear Singers, and the Invited Drum group is the East Boys. Saturday will include drumming, singing, dancing, and vendors.
