Powwow at the Lake is back for our third year.

There is something special about gathering by the water, and we are excited to bring Native singing, dancing, vendors, family, and community back to the lakefront.

Join the American Indian Center on Thursday, June 11, at Foster Beach for a summer evening with Native Chicago.

Grand Entry begins at 6 p.m., so plan to arrive early, visit the vendors, and find a place to sit. This is an outdoor event, so please bring your own chairs or blankets.

This event is free and open to everyone. You do not have to be Native to attend. Relatives, neighbors, friends, families, and respectful guests are all welcome.

We will have intertribal dances, spot dances, audience participation, Native vendors, and a closing Round Dance.

Dancers are invited to preregister. We are offering a $40 honorarium to the first 40 dancers who preregister and check in. More details are available in the sign-up form:

A full season of land based gatherings with AIC in collaboration with Cook County Forest Preserve 🌿

From spring to winter, these days center community, culture, and relationship with the land. Each gathering offers something different from storytelling and games to seasonal celebrations and ceremony.
