Short Announcement

The Fifth Annual Indigenous Peoples’ Day Philly Will Take Place on October 11

The Annual Indigenous Peoples’ Day Philly will take place at Shackamaxon (Penn Treaty Park) on Monday, October 11, 2021, from 11 AM EDT – 5 PM EDT! 

Through a celebration of art, music, and dance the annual event provides a space for different Indigenous communities in Philadelphia to increase awareness and encourage dialogue about Indigenous history, resilience, and strength from 500+ years of Indigenous resistance in the Americas.  

This year’s Indigenous Peoples’ Day Philly will be an especially notable occasion as earlier this year, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney announced that for the first time the city will celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day instead of Columbus Day on the second Monday of October. Recently, IPD Philly released a statement condemning the lawsuit against Mayor Kenney in an attempt to restore Columbus Day in Philadelphia. IPD Philly also started a petition calling for support to establish Indigenous Peoples’ Day as a state and a federal holiday. 

Indigenous Peoples’ Day Philly is a family-friendly event that is open to the public.  Be sure to join the festivities this year at Shackamaxon (Penn Treaty Park) on Monday, October 11, 2021, from 11 AM EDT – 5 PM EDT.
