2019 Prescott Powwow at Watson Lake Park
All are welcome at the 13th Annual Prescott Powwow on September 20-22, 2019 at the Watson Lake Park in Prescott, Arizona. Enjoy a beautiful weekend of dancing, music, art and food. The public is welcome and encouraged to come watch and even participate in our circle. The Prescott Powwow, like many typical Pow Wows, starts on Friday evening with a single Grand Entry, followed by Intertribal dancing, giveaways and specials, with informative (and sometimes humorous comments) by the MC. In recent years, many powwows have become competitive events that can sometimes takes away from the spiritual realm of the gathering. The Prescott Powwow has no contest dancing as its mission is to provide an event that focuses more on the social and spiritual aspects of powwow.Saturday has two Grand Entries, one in the afternoon and the other in the evening after a dinner break. Sunday has a single Grand Entry in the afternoon.
