Saturday’s performances will begin with the Iron Swing Singers and Drum Group. The lineup also includes the Chinese Dance School of Saskatchewan, the Filipino Kumintang Folk Dance Ensemble, Saskatoon Salsa, African and Indonesian dancers, Northern Prairie dancers, Francophone singer Christie-Anne Blondeau and Sask Peru.

The day will end with something new for Tapestrama: a line dancing performance and lesson led by Definitely Dancing Prince Albert.

“They will do like a line dance performance for us for a few minutes, and then after that, they will teach us how to line dance,” Hassler said. “We would like to invite everybody that would like to learn how to line dance.”

Sunday’s program will feature cultural performances representing Egypt, Germany, Ireland, India and Ukraine, along with more Indigenous dancing and some performers returning from Saturday.

“We have some brand new cultural groups that will be performing for us and sharing their stories and culture and tradition with us during the cultural festival,” Hassler said. “We also have quite a few that are comebacks. They love to come back to perform for Tapestrama and we are very thankful for that.”

The Prince Albert Multicultural Council has posted the full schedules online.
