Annual Powwow
The Potlotek Powwow has been a cherished tradition for over two decades, proudly recognized as one of the longest-running powwows in the Maritime region. This vibrant event features the largest arbor east of Quebec, skillfully built from cedar. Each year, the Powwow flourishes due to the unwavering commitment of community members who generously volunteer their time, along with the support of our partners and the love shared by Mi’kmaw friends and family across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island.
Date
The 2025 Powwow is scheduled for July 19-20th however this date fluctuates yearly. It’s typically before St. Annes Mission every year which is the third week of July yearly.
