A Portland Tradition Returns: June 19–21, 2026
We are excited to announce that the Annual City of Roses Delta Park Powwow is coming back to East Delta Park
(located at N Denver Avenue and Martin Luther King Jr Blvd)
for a three-day celebration of culture, community, and tradition.
This free, family-friendly event is a cornerstone of the Portland community, drawing Native American and non-Native participants from across the Pacific Northwest, the United States, and Canada.
A Legacy of Celebration
Since its inception in June 1970, the powwow has been held on this significant land. The event is organized by the Bow and Arrow Culture Club, a grassroots, all-volunteer nonprofit established in 1969 with a mission to provide Native Americans the opportunity to gather and celebrate their traditions.
What to Expect
Whether you are a long-time attendee or joining us for the first time, there is something for everyone:
- Intertribal Dancing & Cultural Exhibitions: Experience the beauty and power of traditional dance.
- Arts & Crafts Vendors: Support Indigenous artists and find unique handmade goods.
- Delicious Food: No visit is complete without enjoying some local fry bread!
Continuing the Story
This event holds a special place in the story of Wisdom of the Elders. A few years ago, one of our multimedia interns filmed their final project right here at Delta Park.
That connection between the land, our culture, and the next generation of Indigenous storytellers is at the very heart of the work we do.
