Sacred Springs Powwow returns to Meadows Center after pandemic pause

Sacred Springs Powwow returns for the first time since 2019 following a brief in-person hiatus amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The powwow takes place Saturday and Sunday at the Meadows Center for Water and the Environment. The powwow will exhibit more than 100 Native American dancers who will compete for best performers. Indigenous arts, crafts and food vendors will also be featured.

“Every powwow is a unique experience because every person who comes brings their own story to sing and their own dance,” said Dr. Mario Garza, Indigenous Cultures Institute Board of Elders Chair. “Our powwow is a powerful experience because it’s held on sacred ground, next to sacred water; what better place to sing and dance.”
