Powwows are traditional social events featuring men’s and women’s dance competitions, drum group competitions among singers who chant while drumming, and “intertribal” dances.
Wyoming’s biggest powwow is the Eastern Shoshone Indian Days, held each summer over the fourth week in June at Fort Washakie.
For more information go to wind-river.org.
Riverton, Wyoming, hosts powwows and weekly Native American events throughout the summer.

Drummers and dancers from the Northern Plains, Oklahoma, Arizona, and New Mexico compete in many categories at the Plains Indian Museum Powwow in Cody, June 15-16, 2013, at the Joe Robbie Powwow Garden.

The Crow Fair and Rodeo is featured during the third week of August at Crow Agency. Over the Labor Day weekend, the Ashland Labor Day Powwow is held on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation.
