Everyone is welcome at the 36th Annual Yuba-Sutter Pow Wow on June 3-4, 2017 at the Yuba Sutter Fairgrounds in Yuba City, California. The two-day Yuba-Sutter Powwow is organized by the Marysville Joint Unified School District’s American Indian Education Program and serves as a gathering place to see old friends and celebrate the culture of a diverse people.

Yuba and Sutter counties lack tribal land, but the Yuba-Sutter Powwow draws hundreds from around Northern California and some from around the west. Most of the days events centered around the dance circle, which will feature a steady flow of colorful movement fueled by the rhythms of the drum groups. Booths selling food, jewelry and other crafts will also be on hand.
