The newly renamed Heritage Festival (formerly the Perham Pioneer Festival) takes place
each year the third weekend in August. Now in its 38th year,
the festival celebrates the first settlers of the area with
folk art demonstrations, re-enactment events, and concerts by Folk and Bluegrass
musicians in a beautiful setting of log buildings on the prairie.
The 2009 festival will feature a Native American Pow Wow. Also new this year will be a turkey sandwich/sweet corn feed on Saturday night followed by our traditional dance with music by Lakes Country Band. Clann Tartan will be on site all weekend with fascinating re-enactments of military drills, black powder demonstrations, dancing and more. Folk art demonstrators representing the diverse ethnic heritages of the area will feature weaving, spinning, carving, soap making and more.
Visit the Log Cabins and listen to pioneer women tell what life was like for the first settlers.
Wander through the primitive camp of the nearby Black Powder
Mountaineers Rendezvous. On Sunday, come for morning church services with music by Last Call.
