Big Talk One Fire 2026 will again feature:
Traditional & contemporary dance performances from across FNQ
First Nations art market packed with art, crafts and giftware
Culture, craft & dance workshops

UMI Arts' Mission is to preserve, strengthen, maintain and celebrate all aspects of Indigenous arts and culture, and Big Talk One Fire is vital to this mission. Come and join them in learning about and celebrating the strength and vibrancy of this region's First Nations people, arts and culture.
