Hopi Festival of Arts and Culture

Now in it's 86th year, the Hopi Festival is recognized as a cultural treasure in the state, and a not-to-miss summer tradition. The two-day celebration of Hopi culture starts at 9 am Saturday with a ceremonial welcome and flagraising, followed by dance and music performances, artist demonstrations, workshops and puppet shows. This year's performers include Ongtupqua performing on the Hopi long flute and a Hopi hoop dancer. Learn about gourd carving from artists Jonah and Gregory Hill. And meet hundreds of carvers, weavers, potters, painters, jewelers and other artists demonstrating, displaying and selling their art. With puppet shows and craft activities for kids, this is a fun-filled, immersive weekend for the entire family.
