Join us at our 2018 Annual Northern Ute 4th of July Powwow for a great four-day weekend filled with dance, drums, the circle of friendship, free fishing, a fun run, rodeo, golf tournament, softball tournament, and many other competitions. There will be lots of food, dancing, give-a-ways and most especially a lot of fun.

Food booths will feature  traditional fry bread, pork chop sandwiches and mutton meals. Arts and crafts vendors will showcase Native American bead work, crafts, blankets, and much more.

This is a fantastic family event that is open to the public.
