Indigenous Peoples’ Day Phoenix Fest is back to "Amplify Indigenous Voices" with a vibrant celebration of Indigenous Art, Culture, Music, and Food. The event, hosted by Cahokia PHX in collaboration with valley partners such as Arizona Center, Downtown Phoenix Inc., Local First, the Phoenix Art Museum, and a multitude of Indigenous creatives and entrepreneurs, aims to provide festival-goers with immersive experiences that celebrate the diverse culture of Indigenous people.
The festival takes place on the ancestral lands of the O’odham and Piipaash people. It transforms Arizona Center with a main musical stage, a second cultural stage, a skateboard and roller skating experience, an Indigenous Pop-up market, suite installations, food trucks, and a town hall brought to you by the Phoenix Indian Center. This year's festival includes signature events hosted by valley collaborators. We are delighted to present the 2024 Indigenous Peoples Day Phx Fest Official Schedule of Events.
