Not one but two popular musicians headline this year's 22nd Native American Dance & Music Festival: multiple award-winning and internationally renowned musicians Arvel Bird (violinist and Native American flutist) and singer-songwriter Jennifer Kreisberg. With his Celtic Fusion brand of music, Arvel is always a draw at the festival. And although many festival attendees have heard Jennifer perform as part of Ulali - the groundbreaking Native women's vocal trio - we're thrilled that she is making her solo Ganondagan debut this year! (We've also heard that Arvel and Jennifer may be planning a special onstage musical collaboration...)

Our two-day signature event attracts more than four thousand people annually for the variety of music, Iroquois dance performances, artisan demonstrations, traditional storytelling, Wegmans Family Discovery Tent, Native Arts Market, interpretive programs at the Bark Longhouse and Visitor Center, guided trails walks, and more. Thanks to Arvel Bird, we've added a String Jam on both days in addition to our popular Family Drum Jam. So, if you play the violin, bring it along!

Ganondagan's Native American Dance & Music Festival is the only event of its kind in Western New York, attracting visitors from throughout the country. If you've been meaning to visit, make this your year.
