Seminole Tribal Fair and Pow Wow

About Us:

The Seminole Tribe of Florida will host its annual celebration of Native culture and arts on February 10-12, 2017 in Hollywood, Florida. The celebration will be held at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino property located at 1 Seminole Way Hollywood, Florida 33144. Events will be held in the Hard Rock Live arena and outdoors in the Hooter’s parking lot located on the east side of Seminole Paradise adjacent to State Road 7 and the main entrance to the Seminole Hard Rock property.

With the two (2) venues, in addition to the usual lineup of Native arts, crafts, foods, and music, the Fair will be expanded to host a Pow Wow dance competition open to all Native people across the Americas. The Pow Wow will feature a drum competition of northern and southern drums; a dance competition in northern traditional, southern straight, fancy, grass and chicken for the men; and, northern traditional, southern buckskin, fancy, jingle and northern/southern cloth combined for the women.

Pow Wow

Pow Wows are the Native American people’s way of meeting together, to join in dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old friendships, and making new ones. This is a time method to renew Native American culture and preserve the rich heritage of American Indians.
