Events Description
Support Indigenous and local artists and businesses at the third annual Christmas on the Nation Holiday Market. In partnership with the Seven Chiefs Sportsplex & Chief Jim Starlight Centre and Taza, this new holiday market will feature over 150 Indigenous and local artists.
Artisans and makers promise to amaze you with their talents and appreciate your commitment to supporting local. Find the perfect gift for someone on your list or treat yourself with a beautiful little treasure. Don’t miss out on the warmth and welcome of the people of the Tsuut’ina Nation.
Enjoy a festive indoor holiday atmosphere, Tsuut’ina Nation dance performances, Indigenous craft corner, teepees, Santa Claus, and food from our concession in Seven Chiefs Sportsplex. As well as our treasured Canadian experience of skating outdoors under the roof of the outdoor arena during market hours. There is no cost to skate, so bring your skates, and helmets for the kids. No hockey sticks or pucks, please.
