The Four Seasons Cultural Society is excited to announce that the return of the Pow Wow Between the Lakes in 2023 will be held at the South Okanagan Events Centre (SOEC) in SnPink’tn (Penticton), BC. The theme of the event, planned for June 23-25, is Healing the Nation and is intended to bring together the eight bands of the Okanagan Nation Alliance in celebration of Syilx culture and resilience.
“This pow wow is the beginning of a new era for the Four Seasons Cultural Society. A new generation of Penticton Indian Band youth are picking up the eagle feather to lead the pow wow into the future,” said Kristine Jack, Executive Director of the Four Seasons Cultural Society. “What better way to signal our hope for healing and reconciliation than bringing the pow wow to the traditional lands of SnPink’tn and the South Okanagan Events Centre.”
Tickets will be available closer to the event through the SOEC. The event begins with the first Grand Entry on Friday, June 23 at 7 pm. Saturday’s competition will begin at 1 pm and continue at 7 pm. The event will wrap up on Sunday with the final competition at 1 pm. Food and arts and craft vendors will be on site throughout the weekend. Visit http://www.fourseasonspowwow.ca for more information.
