Pow Wow Calendar Newsletter Edition

This newsletter is sent out on the 1st and 15th of the month (or around those days) and includes all the Pow Wows from our calendar for the next 3 months.

I’ve been home for the holidays, and it’s been a pretty quiet week between Christmas and New Year’s.

Mostly because I got knocked out with the flu after we got back from our Walt Disney World trip. The kind where you start feeling better, get your hopes up… and then your body says, “Not so fast.” 😅

I just got back from the doctor’s office this morning, and I think I’m past the flu part, but I’m still dealing with a little bacterial infection. So I’m not 100% heading into 2026, but I’m getting there.

I hope 2026 is a fantastic year for you and your family.

The 2026 Pow Wow Calendar is already filling up fast.

That’s why I send this newsletter on the 1st and 15th-ish. It’s meant to be your quick heads-up on what’s coming up over the next three months, so you can start making plans, keep an eye on events near you, and share dates with family and friends.

Our first live stream of 2026 is coming up in just a few days.

If you like watching from home, if you’ve got family who can’t travel, or if you just want that feeling of being “there” even when you can’t make it in person, the live streams are for you.

Don’t forget to check the schedule here: PowWows.com/live​

2026 - We are celebrating 30 years of PowWows.com!

I’m planning a big 30th celebration this summer, running through June, July, and August. I’m going bigger than I ever have before, and I’m going to share the whole journey as I build it.

​Learn more about our 30th Celebration!​

One of the things I’m most excited about is that I’m using this celebration to highlight Native companies. I’m reaching out to brands, working with partners, and putting the spotlight on Native-owned businesses and creators all summer long.

And if you want to be the first to know when new announcements go live join the waitlist!

One more quick thing before you scroll down to the calendar.

I’ve got 30th anniversary merch in the shop right now, plus shirts and sweatshirts for the 2026 Pow Wow season. Keeps scrolling to see the new merch!

And yes, stickers are coming soon.

If you’ve ever wondered how to support PowWows.com in a simple, practical way, shopping the store is one of the biggest helps. Every order supports the work behind the scenes, and it helps me keep showing up with the calendar, the content, and the live streams.

Below, you’ll find a list of upcoming Pow Wows over the next three months, organized by region.

This isn’t every single Pow Wow coming up, just a sample to help you start planning. For the full list (and updates added daily), visit: www.powwows.com/calendar.
