ᐸᐦᑭᓯᒧᐣ pahkisimon

There is no better way to welcome the dark sky than to celebrate pahkisimon, Cree for sunset. This FREE celebration will be held on the shores of Lake Annette, starting just before sunset with a ceremonial tipi raising followed by teachings, hand-drumming and song by Warrior Women, community pow wow drumming open for anyone to participate in. As the sun sets, illuminated indigenous hoop, traditional and shawl dancers will help us welcome in the starry night. Once the celebration has wrapped up, feel free to stay at Lake Annette to enjoy some of the best star-gazing in the area or head back into the Jasper townsite to take in the evening programs around town.

Attendance is limited to the parking available on site.
