Festival-goers in Thunder Bay had the time of their lives at the sixth Wake the Giant music and cultural festival this past weekend. Headlined by the Black Eyed Peas, this year’s festival marked the first-ever Indigenous headliner in addition to its first-ever ticket sell-out as 8,500 people filled Marina Park to participate in this special celebration of diversity, inclusivity, and culture. Check out the scenes from the 2025 event as captured by photographer Anna Buske below.
