Last Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 11 and 12, the past came to life just outside of West Lafayette, Ind. The Feast of the Hunters’ Moon is a recreation of the annual fall gathering of the French and Native Americans which took place at Fort Ouiatenon, a fur-trading outpost in the mid-1700s. It is held annually in early autumn on the banks of the Wabash River, four miles southwest of West Lafayette.
The 58th annual festival featured French and Native American music and dance, fife and drum corps performances, military drills and demonstrations, fashion shows, games, contests, candle-dipping, storytelling, bead bracelet making, cross-cut sawing, and axe throwing.
The Feast always brings lots of people from far and wide. Learn more at FeastOfTheHuntersMoon.org.
