Background Echoes Drum Festival of Sault Ste. Marie invites you to come and participate in a three day drum festival from June 17-19, 2010 to celebrate peace and harmony of all races. The festival is being held in historical Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada which was named by the Ojibwe people as "Bawating" meaning "the meeting place by the water".
Echoes of the World festival is the vision of two Cree women with a mission to promote inter-racial understanding of the many diverse cultures of the world, and the relationship we have to each other and the earth. And most importantly, to identify our similarities and our differences through the sharing of traditional music, songs and dance in the spirit of peace and harmony. Echoes' eighth year will be providing educational venues, cultures and resources in a 3 day immersion. Come and immerse yourself! Interactive venues will include: a three day festival from June 17 – 19, 2009 with minidrum interactive workshop, various drummers from many different cultures, storytellers, comedians, vendors, children's activities, drum interactive workshops, Sunset drum circle, location to be announced, Educational Trail and a wonderful experience that you may wish to participate in called "the labyrinth", where you can find out more about your personal journey on a huge blanket on the grass. We are also including an artistic venue and invite artists to come and display their talents. Please register if you are interested. This occasion is made possible through the contributions and donations of many sectors of business and all the tasks will be carried out by committed volunteers.
