The 37th Annual Balboa Park Pow Wow returns on May 10 and May 11 in Balboa Park (the corner of Park Blvd. and President’s Way). This free, family-friendly event is open for all to experience a weekend full of tradition, vibrant performances, and cultural pride. The community is invited to experience the richness of Native American heritage through music, dance, art, and community connection. Native singers, drummers, and dancers from throughout the Southwest will gather to practice their traditions in their beautiful regalia. Pow Wows are a spiritual experience for American Indians and an opportunity to preserve and pass on the customs and traditions which keep Native heritage alive. Each day, the Pow Wow will showcase traditional activities such as Kumeyaay Bird Singing, Gourd Dancing, Inter-Tribal Dancing, and Honoring of community leaders. There will also be dozens of local vendors and food booths serving delicious fry bread and other Native American dishes. Native artists will have beautiful hand-crafted items for purchase, such as jewelry, clothes, blankets, art, and more. Saturday’s honoring will be dedicated to the United States Military for their service, and Sunday’s honoring will be dedicated to all the mothers and grandmothers in celebration of Mother's Day. Congressman Scott Peters will be speaking at the event on Saturday to speak on SDAIHC’s impactful service to the community. The Pow Wow is hosted by San Diego American Indian Health Center (SDAIHC). As a community clinic, SDAIHC serves all San Diegans regardless of ethnicity, age, or background. The center promotes excellence in healthcare and welcomes new patients to join its diverse community. SDAIHC aims to reduce the significant health disparities in San Diego’s under-served populations, and brings hope, resilience, and healing to the thousands that are served yearly.

Cindy Lee Berryhill San Diego Music Hall of Fame member Cindy Lee Berryhill emerged as a distinctive voice in alternative music during the late 1980s. Her 1987 debut album, "Who’s Gonna Save the World?" (Rhino Records), featuring the popular track “Damn, I Wish I Was a Man,” was praised for its straightforward and humorous approach. Her career has been characterized by provocative lyrics, compelling melodies, and extensive touring alongside prominent acts like Peter Buck (REM), David Lindley, and The Smithereens. She was a founding member of the New York City Anti-folk movement, which inspired Beck, Michelle Shocked, and others. Her influence grew through her involvement in diverse musical ventures and collaborations such as those with Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith Group), who produced her second record. Berryhill’s third album, "Garage Orchestra" (Cargo Records), released in 1994, marked a departure into Tin Pan Alley meets Beach Boys meets Patti Smith–inspired compositions, highlighting her musical versatility. Her politically charged song “When Did Jesus Become a Republican?” gained considerable attention in 2006 after being prominently featured on Neil Young’s Living with War Today website. Her music has served as a means to navigate personal challenges and connect with audiences, particularly evident in her albums "Beloved Stranger" (2008) and "The Adventurist" (2017), which reflect on her late husband’s legacy and her own life moving forward.
