Members of Red Deer’s Indigenous community are hosting a special event later this month as part of Alberta Culture Days.

Urban Aboriginal Voices Society (UAVS) and partners welcome the community to a family fun day featuring a variety of Indigenous activities.

There will be a tipi and trappers encampment, family dance with the Country Pride Dance Club, plus an art display, dance workshops, agency booths, and a Metis food truck.

The on-site Indigenous Emerging Artists display will remain open to the public in the Viewpoint Gallery from now through Oct. 29.

The upcoming event runs from 1-5 p.m. on Sept. 19 behind Central Middle School and at the nearby Gary W. Harris Celebration Plaza (5205 48 Avenue).
