Totah Festival Indian Market & Pow Wow

Talented Native American artisans are juried into this annual festival celebrating the craftsmanship and friendship of regional artists. Totah Festival features a weekend of fantastic food, a contest Pow-Wow, Cultural Dance Expo, and the very popular authentic Navajo Rug Auction.

Totah Festival is a Juried Art Festival, featuring quality Native American art from across the southwest.  The Festival began in 1988 as a marketplace for Native American artists to share their skills and craftsmanship with the community, visitors, and each other.  Today the Totah Festival features new and established artisans, the annual Totah Juried Art Competition, Contest Pow-Wow, and an authentic Navajo Rug Auction.

The 2020 schedule will be added as soon as it is available. Call 505-599-1174, or visit totahfestival.org, for details.
