Metis musicians, dancers, artists and storytellers will be gathering in Toronto from July 22 to 24 to take part in the Metis Arts Festival.

This is the second year for the festival, organized by Black Creek Pioneer Village and the Metis Artists Collective.

The event is a bilingual celebration of Metis people, featuring a mix of the traditional and the contemporary, with ballet and jazz finding their place alongside traditional Metis fiddling and jigging. The festival will also feature performances by First Nation dancers and Inuit throat singers.

The festival will take place at Black Creek Pioneer Village from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
