Announcement!

We are making a change to our Indigenous People's Day lineup.

The Yootay Singers are unable to make this afternoon's event due to unforeseen circumstances. The program will go on with a presentation on Native pow wow music by our own director Chris Newell.

Chris comes with more than 30 years of experience singing across the US and Canada and also collaborated with a number of artists including world renowned cellist Yo Yo Ma!

Schedule is still the same. Food begins at 5pm by James Beard Award-winning Wampanoag Chef Sherry Pocknett with Chris's presentation/singing to begin at 5:30pm.

We will see you all there!
