The public is invited to celebrate the season as the Akwesasne Farmers Market presents Harvest Festival on Saturday, Oct. 19 at Generations Park.

Promising a celebration of spectacular Mohawk art and a rich Indigenous cultural experience, the Akwesasne Art Market and Juried Show did not disappoint. The event, proudly presented by Akwesasne Travel, was held July 6 at Generations Park in the heart of the Mohawk community. 

In only its third year, the arts and culture event attracted some 2500 attendees from the Akwesasne community, neighboring counties in Northern New York and Southern Ontario, as well as several states.

“It’s a testament to the growth of Akwesasne as a vibrant cultural tourism destination,” said Thomas. “We invited the public to experience our culture and celebrate the tremendous talent of our people, and they responded very positively. It’s a win-win for everyone.”
