SELXWI:CHEL ARTS & CULTURE FESTIVAL

Selxwi:chel Arts & Culture Festival is a free, family-friendly celebration of Indigenous arts, culture, and community held in Abbotsford. Rooted in the meaning of “Selxwi:chel” – “the middle of three,” reflecting the connection of local Indigenous communities – the festival brings together First Nations, Metis, and Inuit artists, performers, and knowledge keepers. Visitors can experience live music and dance, storytelling, interactive workshops, and hands-on cultural activities, while also supporting Indigenous artisans and vendors. The event offers a welcoming space for all ages to learn, share, and celebrate Indigenous traditions, creativity, and cultural resilience.
