Annual Monacan Pow Wow
DECLARATION OF A STATE OF EMERGENCY
ANNOUNCEMENT: Covid 19/Coronavirus:
Due to the recent health pandemic with COVID-19, and current bans on public gatherings we regret to inform you that we will have to postpone our 28th Annual Powwow scheduled for May 16 & 17, 2020.
The MIN Powwow Committee is working on rescheduling the event for later in the year, during Fall 2020. At this time, we do not have an official date but we will post updates and notifications through our social media platforms: www.MonacanNation.com and the official Monacan Indian Nation Facebook page. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but our concern at this time is for the health and safety of all community members, dancers, vendors, and staff.
