South Bayfront Powwow

Uncategorized Download To My Calendar
The annual South Bayfront Powwow is a traditional gathering with dance and ceremony, to be held on the Chula Vista Bayfront. Open to the public as a free educational and cultural event, we invite visitors to the bayfront for a weekend of traditional music, dance, arts and crafts, and food.

This event creates a connection to the historic past of San Diego Bay and our local diversity, highlighting our region's Native American heritage. Powwows are a traditional Native American people?s way of meeting together to join in dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old friendships, and making new ones. These events serve to renew Native American culture and preserve the rich heritage of American Indians.The event activities will begin on Saturday, August 1st at 10:00 AM. The daily schedule is from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Saturday and from 10:00 AM until 6:00 PM on Sunday.

This event, presented by the Soaring Eagles and South Bayfront Artists is sponsored by the Port of San Diego with support from Republic Services and local businesses and individuals. Planning and coordinating this event were members of award-winning Soaring Eagles Native American Indian cultural dance group of San Diego County, American Indian Warriors Association and Calpulli Mexihca - Danza Azteca Huehueteotl. We gratefully thank the San Diego Unified Port District, Republic Services and South Bayfront Sailing Association for their sponsorship.

This event would not be possible without the support of a Tidelands Activation grant from the Port of San Diego. As part of efforts to support a vibrant and active waterfront, the Port of San Diego offers sponsorship to community organized events through the Tidelands Activation Program. This annual grant program supports events, large and small, that engage the community and inspire visitors to enjoy San Diego Bay. Events were selected through a rigorous public evaluation process led by the Tidelands Activation Program Advisory Committee, which includes members of the community.
