Many cultures celebrate the time of the harvest, when the seeds we have planted and nurtured come into their full glory. Harvest Moon is about more than just crops and food, it is a celebration of a season's worth of hard work throughout the community.

MKIM's Harvest Moon Festival, celebrating the traditional harvest season, is a family-friendly event featuring Native foods, craft demonstrations, activities for kids, and educational exhibits. Visitors will learn how to make dolls from corn husks, weave dreamcatchers, try their hand at beading and enjoy sensory-friendly activities and games. Dramatic stories about the harvest will be told. 

Join in on a scavenger hunt throughout our medicine woods trail to discover how plants would be traditionally used. The entire family will savor the taste of Native recipes that will be available, like chicken wild rice stew, several varieties of cornbread, and the ever-popular Hidatsa bison stew!
