Celebrate culture, unity, and honor at this immersive, family-friendly festival spotlighting Native American traditions, art, music, and cuisine. The day begins with a Unity & Honor Gathering, featuring an Apache Hymn, prayer, and special remarks from tribal and local leaders.
Explore an open-air market filled with Native American artisans—many nationally recognized—selling handmade jewelry, paintings, clothing, books, and more from within tepees and tents. Don’t miss featured artists Raul Davis, Jordan Torres, and Lindsey Shakespeare.
All-day live music includes a performance by award-winning Navajo blues musician Levi Platero, flutist Lanny Maddox, and more acclaimed artists on the J & S Stage.
Cultural highlights include:
Lee Pike War Dance Group performances
Storytelling in the tepee by Kim Enjady
Cultural presentation + Q&A by Lindsey Shakespeare
Grab a bite from local and Native food vendors serving everything from fry bread and posole to Indian tacos and Navajo mutton stew.
