You’ll see internationally acclaimed Native American musicians and dancers including returning favorites such Billy Whitefox, and award winning hoop dancer Lowery Begay. We’ll welcome back Mark Holland with Autumn’s Child as our headlining performance. Explore the many vendors throughout the park that will be selling their Native American art, flutes, baskets, leather goods, and more.

For the first time this year, Musical Echoes will offer a Native Flute School before the festival, taught by nationally-acclaimed facilitators Dr. Clint Goss, Vera Shanov, and 4-time Grammy nominee Dr. Michael DeMaria. There will be two full-day sessions on Thursday and Friday of festival weekend. Learn about song composition, the health and healing benefits of the flute, and solo performance. Participate in one or both days of the school. All levels of experience are welcome, including beginners. You’ll gain an understanding of rhythms, tones, and improvisation while increasing your confidence to perform in front of audiences.
