This event is sponsored by the San Diego American Indian Health Center and will feature native drumming, singing, and dancing from various American Indian/Alaskan Native Tribes, bands, and communities. The Balboa Park Pow Wow is also an opportunity to raise cultural awareness within the greater San Diego population about American Indians/Alaskan Natives and our passion for celebrating and preserving customs and traditions.

Vendors will be selling handmade jewelry, pottery, basketry, clothing and a variety of other crafts and goods. Food vendors will offer delectable American Indian dishes such as fry bread and Indian Tacos in addition to other treats.
