The grand opening event will showcase traditional tribal performances and then the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony will take place, gathering Tribal leaders, project partners and elected officials.

Once the much-anticipated ribbon cutting is completed, visitors will be able to enjoy cake and light hors d'oeuvres.
