Each year of the Grande Gathering Gala is an opportunity for Indigenous artists in the area to showcase their talent on stage, last year’s performance was presented by JUNO award winner Aysanabee, with this year’s popular demand to have ‘The Prairie States’ perform, along with a potential Metis Fiddler to perform at the Gala.
