THE RUBABOO ARTS FESTIVAL is a multidisciplinary, emerging arts festival committed to redressing the erasure of culture and moving us in understanding and inclusion. Rubaboo showcases Aboriginal theatre, music, dance, art, food, family / youth events, artist / cultural workshops, Aboriginal crafts – and is the only festival of its kind in Alberta. Rubaboo is a Métis-Michif word meaning a stew that’s full of life, and food that feeds the spirit; it’s a philosophy about what sustains us. Established in 2009, this annual festival focuses on developing and presenting new artistic works, and invites audiences of all backgrounds to experience these vital and inspiring Indigenous perspectives.
