6th Annual Indigenous Peoples' Day Rocks!

"Indigenous Peoples Day Rocks!" is a daylong celebration of Indigenous culture, arts education, language presentations, drumming and dancing, culminating in a rock and roll show.
Presented by the IPD Rocks Foundation. The mission of IPD Rocks is to create a year-round vessel and engine to honor, celebrate, and support our Indigenous peoples whose lands we live on. We’re so excited about the work at hand with Chief Don Stevens to continue transforming the celebration to include cultural and arts education, drumming and dancing, a daylong event culminating in an incredible rock and roll show, IPD Rocks!
