Indigenous Music & Arts Festival

Ganondagan's annual Indigenous Music & Arts festival is made possible in part by NYSCA, Wegmans and NTID. It showcases Haudenosaunee and Indigenous cultures through dance, music, storytelling, traditional craft demonstrations, an Indigenous Arts Market, children's activities, Indigenous food, and more.

This year we are deeply honored to be welcoming Māori artists and performers. The event will feature artist demonstrations, dance performances and collaborative opportunities with Haudenosaunee artists, performers, and culture bearers. 

This year's festival features Native folk and blues rocker, Keith Secola (Anishinabe) & his Wild Band of Indians, hoop dance champions and performers, the Sinquah Family Dance Troupe (Hopi/Tewa/Choctaw), Bill Crouse (Seneca) and Haudenosaunee social dancers, Allegany River Indian Dancers, and storytellers Ronnie Reitter (Seneca, Wolf Clan) & Perry Ground (Onondaga, Turtle Clan).

ASL Interpretation provided at the main stage, throughout performances is sponsored by The National Technical Institute for the Deaf (NTID), a college of Rochester Institute of Technology.
