We’re preparing to welcome everyone back to Lansing’s Riverfront Park **September 26–27** for our 3rd Annual Dance by the River Powwow — and there are still a few ways to be part of the weekend!

🛍️ **CRAFT VENDORS**
Vendor spaces are filling quickly! If you have been planning to join us but have not yet submitted your registration form, now is the time to get it in. **Remaining craft vendor space is limited.**

ℹ️ **INFORMATIONAL BOOTHS**
Organizations interested in joining us with an informational booth are encouraged to submit their request soon as we finalize the powwow grounds layout.

🙌 **VOLUNTEERS**
It takes a community to make a powwow happen! If you’d like to lend a hand during powwow weekend, we’d love to have you. Let us know your availability when you sign up.
