Owámni: Falling Water Festival is a celebration of indigenous Minnesota cultures.
This year’s event will be held on Saturday, October 18, at Mill Ruins Park, Water Works Park and across the river at Father Hennepin Park.
This free, all-ages event is co-presented by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board and the St. Anthony Falls Heritage Board to celebrate indigenous Minnesota culture with music, art, food and more!
Owámni is what the Dakota called the area at St. Anthony Falls. It means, “whirling or falling water” in the Dakota language, making it an appropriate name for this festival along the Mississippi River.
