The Cultural Connections in the Park series occurs on select Wednesdays from June through September.

The Burnurwurbskek singers are a men’s drum group from the Penobscot Tribal Nation at Indian Island, Maine. This group has been performing traditional Wabanaki songs for audiences across Maine and other states for many years. This performance on top of Wapuwoc, or the “white mountain of the first light,” is a cultural demonstration that will captivate audience members of all ages.
