The Maamawe Summer Festival and Showcase is a community festival that promotes inclusion, diversity and well-being for the Thunder Bay community and all visitors to the region. The Festival showcases local talent with a focus on Indigenous artists to share elements of Indigenous contributions like music and art.
The focus of the Maamawe Summer Festival and Showcase is to bring the community together in a good way and provide an event that we can all share and celebrate Our Community Maamawe – All Together.
About the Festival & Showcase
The event is our own hometown festival and the vision is to have it grow and encompass fashion, crafts, education, film and all the other elements our diverse community has to offer. This has been a vision for 10+ years in the making and we are pleased to launch it this year.
The Maamawe Summer Festival and Showcase was formed based on the input of community artists and music producers, the City's Indigenous Relations Office, and both Indigenous and non-Indigenous community members. With the support of the City of Thunder Bay, community partners and the Thunder Bay community the festival has the makings to become a premier event that invites all people to celebrate with us for many years to come.
