Washington Pow Wows and Native American Events

Washington Pow Wow Calendar of pow wows and Native American events open to the public. Learn powwow etiquette, dances, terminology used at Native American celebrations, vendor information, and more.

Most established pow wows occur on the same weekend of the same month each year. However, for various reasons, this is not a hard and fast rule. Before traveling long distances, please call the event promoter to be sure the dates haven’t changed and that this pow wow is still in existence. Dates given were current in the year in parenthesis.
