Chumash Intertribal Powwow will return to Santa Ynez October 3 & 4, 2026.

Vendor inquiries may be submitted to: sypowwowvendor@chumash.gov

The tribe’s first powwow took place in 1965 and began as a fundraiser to bring running water to the Santa Ynez Reservation. Now, 60 years later, it’s an annual cultural and educational event that allows the tribe to share their Chumash heritage with tribes from across North America and the local community.
