The Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum presents the 45th Annual Indian Market at Pueblo Grande Museum and Archeological Park. The Pueblo Grande Indian Market will take place on Saturday, December 10 & Sunday, December 11, 2022, from 9am – 4pm. Cost: $5 (entrance to museum included) and the market is free to Indigenous peoples, military personnel (active and retired), Friends of Pueblo Grande Museum members, children twelve and below, and police and fire.
We look forward to showcasing some of Arizona’s and the region’s finest Native American artists at this curated event. In addition to over 100 artisan booths the market will feature traditional Native American performances, ancestral demonstrations, and Native foods. The entire museum and park are open to the public during this event with price of admission. The event is family friendly featuring the Ki:Him (O’odham word for village) where visitors can engage in many hands-on activities. Some of these activities are especially suited to children of all ages. These include learning how to use an authentic bow and arrow; an atlatl to throw spears; creating a clay pot; making a beaded bracelet; incising a petroglyph, making paper masks; painting miniature gourds; learning how to hoop dance and so much more. Visitors will also be able to watch piki bread being made and taste it when it’s finished. They will also be able to taste cooked tepary beans and juices made from native fruits.
In addition to Native American art vendors, the Indian Market will feature a main stage with exemplary entertainers and Tribal Royalty appearing. The Ira H. Hayes American Legion Post 84 will post and retire colors on each day of the festival.
