This is the largest student-run event on campus bringing in an average of 8000 people every year. It’s free to get into but we highly suggest you bring some extra money to support the Native American artists that will be selling their work as well as buying concessions (Indian Tacos) sold by First Nations.
This is a zero tolerance event: No drugs. No alcohol. No weapons. No fighting.
