Scissortail Park in Downtown Oklahoma City
Join Red Earth for a free community celebration featuring a Youth Powwow, Native art market, food trucks, family activities, and a welcoming day of Indigenous arts and culture at Scissortail Park.
What does Intertribal Powwow mean?
Red Earth FallFest features an Intertribal Powwow, which means people from all Tribal Nations and communities are welcome to participate and celebrate together. Visitors of all backgrounds are invited to attend, watch, learn, and enjoy the experience.
Whether you have attended powwows your entire life or this is your very first one, we invite you to join us. Bring a chair or blanket, spend the day with us, and experience the songs, dances, regalia, and traditions that make powwows such an important part of Native culture.
