We look forward to having you at this year's National Indigenous People's Day celebration taking place at Lheidli T'enneh Memorial Park on Sunday, June 21st, 2026 from 10:00am-5:00pm.
*This year, NIPD is on Father's Day and the Father's Day Show 'n Shine will be taking place in it's usual location on the far side of the Park near Exploration Place (10am-3pm). This means that the Park will be even busier than normal. We encourage you to plan accordingly.

IMPORTANT:
This event is taking place on the ancestral village site of the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation and is an archaeologically sensitive area. As such, vehicle access will be extremely limited and monitored and tents need to be weighted down (not staked).
PLEASE NOTE:
Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park is a non-smoking park. Smoking is not permitted within 10m of the property.
Pets are not permitted in the park
SET UP:
Set up is to take place between 8:00am and 9:45am, before the event begins at 10:00am.

No staking of tents is permitted within the Park. All tents need to be weighted.
Food trucks requiring access to the designated pads by the washrooms will be sent specific instructions on how to access the area safely.
TAKE-DOWN
We encourage all to stay for the full duration of the event. However, anyone may leave before 5pm. If anyone chooses to do so, please note, there is no vehicle access until after the event. Everything that is packed and moved before then will therefore have to be done by-hand.
