Each day, the Pow Wow begins with an exciting grand entry of all dancers in their spectacular and colorful regalia.

Throughout the day, visitors will enjoy watching and taking part in the judging of the various categories of competition dancing. Those inspired by the beat of the drum can join in with a variety of social dances such as the Snake or Round dance.

After working up an appetite in the dance area, Pow Wow participants can indulge in traditional American foods. There will be vendor’s booths to purchase authentic American Indian treasurers, such as jewelry, baskets, clothing, quilts, pottery and much more. Children will also participate in a variety of activities.
