Powwow

Last updated April 6th, 2025

Free Admission | 40+ Vendors | Cash Preferred | Bag Checks at Door

We at First Nations @ UW are so happy to announce that the 54rd Annual Spring Powwow at the University of Washington is happening on April 12-13th, 2025.

Powwow is more than a celebration—it is a time for us to come together as relatives and uplift one another. We welcome everyone with open hearts and ask that all who attend respect the sacredness of this space.
This is a family event and a community gathering, and we are all responsible for creating a positive, welcoming environment. Together in this shared space, we cultivate joy, tradition, and strengthen our unity.
We invite all who join us to carry themselves with kindness, uphold the values of respect and community, and celebrate the strength of our people as one.

 

 

Admission is free, but be sure to check out the array of items for sale from our vendors (cash preferred) as well as concessions! For more information, about schedule and questions like where to park, look under the Powwow tab on the website to find the Schedule and FAQ tabs.

This powwow is a space for healing and coming together in community, as such, this is a zero tolerance event—NO drugs, NO alcohol, NO fighting.

Spring Powwow is student organized, but would not be possible without the guidance and support of community members, UW staff and alumni, and our generous donors and contributors. Thank you to all who have worked to make this happen!
