Celebrating Arts and Heritage in Mill Lake Park August 28th and 29th.

As most of you are aware, Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley are homes to many different cultures and religous groups and most of these groups share their culture with amazing arts, dances and music.

The MSA Museum and the Abbotsford Arts Council are happy to be hosting the Arts and Heritage Unity Festival at Kariton House at 2387 Ware Street.

Come learn about the varying culture groups in an open environment. Have you ever wondered the tradition behind the Sikh turban or the Kirpan? The Shan E Khalsa Gurmat Academy would be happy to explain it to you! We will also have representatives from the Muslim Mosque explaining Ramadan, Xay:tem longhouse sharing cedar bracelet making, The Abbotsford Genealogical society teaching the importance of a family tree and so much more!

Local musicians will light up the stage, from country, to solo guitar and traditional Indian instruments.
Sun hang do will be there to show you how to kick some butt, with a korean twist.

Come learn bhangra, weaving, wool dying, henna and rangoli in our demonstration tent for a hands on look at these beautiful traditionals that make Abbotsford and the Fraser Valley such a strong, blended community.

Let education bridge cultural gaps in a fun, interactive outdoor environment!
Saturday 11AM-8PM
Sunday 11AM-4PM

SEE YOU THERE!!
