Celebrate Native American culture and community with the Barona Band of Mission Indians at the 53rd Annual Barona Powwow over Labor Day Weekend. The three-day celebration begins on Friday, August 29 with gourd dancing at 6 p.m. followed by a grand entry of dancers in full regalia at 8 p.m. The event continues Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. Admission and parking are free.

Hundreds of Native American dancers from across the country will compete and showcase traditional and contemporary dance styles including the Fancy Shawl Dance and Grass Dance. Alongside the dancing, visitors can enjoy Hand Drum contests, singing, drumming, and food favorites like Indian fry bread tacos. A wide selection of arts, crafts, and handmade jewelry will also be available from local and traveling vendors.
