First Peoples Festival at Overland Park Arboretum & Botanical Gardens
Enjoy a vibrant celebration of Native American culture with a variety of Native American performers, artists, speakers and community leaders. Join us as we celebrate the Arboretum’s Medicine Wheel, acknowledge the contributions of all tribes, educate non-native people and encourage understanding between all groups. Enjoy music, dances, food, crafts and demonstrations for all ages. The intertribal celebration will pay tribute to first peoples’ cultures, both past and present.
Performances and demonstrations include: Flute workshop conducted by Janalea Hoffman, Wichita War Dancer performance, Andean Music Performance from Amado Espinoza, craft demonstrations and sales!
During the festival, visitors can browse booths from represented tribal groups, including beading from the Wyandot, artifacts from the Kaw, visual artists from the Ottawa Tribe of Oklahoma and more.
Included with admission, the First Peoples Festival is held in our gardens near the Medicine Wheel
