Magical Frybread Drive-In

Anishinaabe Treaty Territory / Northern Minnesota -Arts and culture collective Fire in the Village, led by Anishinaabe artist and musician Annie Humphrey, is pleased to announce their Summer 2026 Mini Mobile Music Fest, Magical Frybread Drive-in.

Frybread came from struggle and hard times for the people (Anishinaabe) who were forced off their lands and onto reservations to live on rations. Flour, lard, salt ... Frybread is a symbol of Aanishinaabe outlasting them (The industrial ruling class).

Join us at the mobile Magical Frybread Drive-in to be inspired, fed, and empowered. There will be frybread (of course), printmaking, poets and musicians speaking and singing their truth. Thinking for themselves. Join us, let’s be coherent together!

Each Magical Frybread Drive-in is a mobile mini music festival. It starts with social time of frybread & printmaking, followed by a music/poetry/spoken word concert. The spirit of the people is what makes it magical.

“Poetry is free, as it is freeing, much like dancing.” -Brian Babb, Performer at the Magical Frybread Drive-in

“We will outlast these times we’re in… Harder times on the horizon.” -Annie Humphrey, Performer and Frybread Maker and Fire in the Village Director

Shows will take place in Minneapolis and small towns in the northland where Fire in the Village has been building relationships and real connections.
