    Important Update: Parade Announcement

    We want to share that this year, we will not be hosting the Red Earth FallFest Parade. Due to other scheduled events taking place along the parade route on the same day, we are unable to hold the parade for 2025.

    While we’re disappointed, we’re already looking ahead and hope to bring the parade back in the future!

    In the meantime, join us for an unforgettable day filled with vibrant drumbeats, incredible dancers, and beautiful Native art at the FallFest Powwow and Art Market — it’s going to be an amazing celebration!
