Through storytelling, jigging, fiddling, dancing, food, vendors of traditional crafts and Métis products, voyageur games, chuckwagon and chariot races, sports, and games Métis culture and heritage are preserved and shared with all who gather there. It is an opportunity for Métis and non-Métis to gather together and share in a celebration of culture, reconnect with friends and family, and develop new meaningful relationships. It welcomes people from all over Canada, and the world, to join in the celebration and learn about the history of the Métis and the significant role they played in our country’s history. Previously known as the Back to Batoche Festival, the four-day celebration began over 50 years ago in 1970.
Next weekend the Back to Batoche grounds will be filled to overflowing with families from all over Canada as Métis people come to Saskatchewan for the biggest Métis cultural celebration in the country.
