Going into its seventh year, Spirit Song Festival in St. John’s is larger than it’s ever been – SaltWire Network
Organizers say this year’s shows will be ‘packed to the rafters’
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. —
Noticing a gap in local festivals, a committee from the St. John’s Native Friendship Centre (now First Light) created Spirit Song Festival in 2013 as a celebration of Indigenous artists and culture from across the country.
The festival has been evolving and growing in scale ever since with Natasha Blackwood and Jenelle Duval serving as main organizers for the annual event.
“This year is the largest we’ve ever produced,” Duval says.
“The moment we put it up online, we were watching our registration software and it was piling in. I think this is the first year for the festival where we know we have a packed house for every single show.”
