The annual Taos Pueblo Pow Wow is a celebration of indigenous music, dance, food, arts and crafts, and friendship, all held under the beautiful backdrop of Taos mountain. Everyone is welcome! Find the full schedule of events below, and all of the details at taospueblopowwow.com.
If you’re only going to catch one thing out at Pow Wow this weekend, try to see one of the Grand Entrances. There’s one every day, when all the competing dancers enter the grounds; it’s a spectacular sight that you have to see with your own eyes!
