Arts & Entertainment

Cultural Survival Bazaar

Join us for a Free Native Arts & Culture Festival that gives Native artisans, their representatives, and fair trade companies from around the world the chance to sell their work directly to the American public. This event will feature artisans, products, and performers from around the world.

The bazaars offer one-of-a-kind, unique, handmade art and crafts which help make a difference in the world.  Everything sold at a CS Bazaar supports Indigenous artisans, Fair Trade, and Cultural Survival’s non-profit work in partnership with Native Communities around the world.  Products include art, jewelry, clothing, crafts, decor, tribal rugs, and much more.

The bazaars also offer a wide assortment of free entertainment which include live music from Yarina, a group originally from Otavalo, Ecuador, blending the ancient rhythms of its Quichua culture with original compositions, Hawk Henries a Nipmuc artisan and performer who will share his culture, Native flute, didgeridoo, and other world instruments combined in a cultural experience not to be missed, Native American storytelling by Leonard Four Hawks, Balinese dancing, craft-making demonstrations, and special Saturday night evening hours until 8pm offering entertainment, food, drink, and a benefit auction for Cultural Survival's nonprofit work.
