Powwow Guidelines

Invited Drums Only. Dancer registration is now open.
Dancers must be in full regalia for end-of-day honoraria payout 
Vendors are invite-only due to limited capacity. 
Free parking on the UTM campus (P4 & P8)
We encourage you to bring your own water bottles.
Please note that if the gym reaches full capacity, access may be temporarily limited. However, we anticipate a steady flow of people entering and leaving, which should help ensure availability throughout the day.
 

A Powwow is an Indigenous social celebration where community members can gather and enjoy traditional singing and dancing. All community members, including non-Indigenous, are welcome and strongly encouraged to attend and participate in what a Powwow has to offer.

Experiencing a Powwow emphasizes the importance of relationship-building with everyone while providing opportunities to learn more about Indigenous culture and knowledge. The U of T Mississauga Indigenous Centre looks forward to welcoming you to their All-Nations Powwow this fall 2026.
