Festival Welcome & Opening

Join us for a vibrant celebration of arts and culture, beginning with a warm welcome and a meaningful Land Acknowledgment. We’ll recognize our sponsors and government supporters and capture the moment with a group photo of speakers and organization representatives. We’ll wrap up with highlights from the day and extend an invitation to join us for the opening of Gallery in the Woods!

Don’t miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in creativity and community.
