ʔəm̓i ce:p xʷiwəl Come Toward the Fire Festival

​ʔəm̓i ce:p xʷiwəl is a festival celebration of Indigenous culture and community presented by the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)—on whose territory the Chan Centre and UBC are located.

The festival is a family-friendly accessible gathering that also features musical performances by Indigenous artists from across Turtle Island (North America), film screenings, dancers, speakers, workshops, artist discussions, an Indigenous artisan market, and food vendors. All festival events are free and non-ticketed.

Our aim is to amplify Indigenous voices and to create a vibrant space to celebrate Indigenous creativity, brilliance, and culture. All members of the general public are welcome to join in the festivities.
