There was also a fireworks display that took place Saturday night. The fireworks are always a huge hit and much anticipated in the community as it is the largest display that goes on each year. Unfortunately I was unable to find the pictures from last year's fireworks display.

The Eel Ground First Nation-Natoaganeg Powwow is one of four powwows that take place each summer and is a celebration of First Nations culture.
