International First Peoples' Festival

The International First Peoples' Festivalis a landmark cultural event that showcases the richness, creativity, and diversity of Indigenous peoples from here and around the world. Each year in Montreal, the festival brings together artists, creators, communities, and audiences for a multidisciplinary program where film, music, visual arts, traditions, discussions, and live performances come together.

More than a cultural event, the International First Peoples' Festival is a space for dialogue, knowledge sharing, and discovery. It invites audiences to explore both contemporary and ancestral stories told through Indigenous voices while fostering meaningful exchanges between cultures.

For more than three decades, the festival has helped elevate Indigenous artistic expression and build lasting connections across generations and communities. Through its many activities, it celebrates the memory, innovation, and vitality of First Peoples in a spirit of sharing and togetherness.

The International First Peoples' Festival is an invitation to listen, learn, experience, and celebrate living cultures that continue to shape the history and future of this land.
