2020 Chumash Day Powwow and Intertribal Gathering
All are welcome at the 22nd Annual Chumash Day Powwow and Intertribal Gathering on April 4-5, 2020 at the Malibu Bluffs Park in Malibu, California. Although Powwows didn’t originate in California, the Chumash and other tribes in the state have gathered to sing, dance, socialize and heal for many generations. Native Americans gather at Malibu Bluffs Park each spring to celebrate their heritage and the original settlers in Malibu, the Chumash. Chumash Day is a free, two day event and is open to everyone.
