Over two days we hosted numerous participants and attendees.  Please mark your calendars for the 2025 festival February 1-2 at the Scottsdale Civic Center.  Held in conjunction with Scottsdale’s Western Week, the Arizona Indian Festival provides a new platform to tribal tourism and awareness of Arizona’s indigenous communities by creating an inclusive inter-tribal event celebrating culture, traditional arts, crafts, and foods, as well as innovations and trends in cultural tourism experiences in Arizona.

Indian Villages
Arizona is made up of 22 tribes, and most will be at the Arizona Indian Festival during the event. From traditional food, to storytelling, to traditional dancing, singing and traditional dwellings represented within the village area, you will walk away fascinated by the native beauty that Arizona has to offer.

Tribal Royalty
Dozens of tribal royalty will be talking to guests throughout the weekend, making special appearances at the main stage and children’s craft area. These young women practice and demonstrate their cultural traditions through songs, dance, stories, humor and the way they dress.

Food Vendors
Enjoy good food from around the state… frybread, kettle corn and burgers, oh my.

Arts & Crafts
AIF offers visitors the opportunity to buy directly from Native American artisans. Feel free to ask questions about the process of jewelry making, the creation of a Navajo rug or the patience it requires to make pottery. They are anxious to share their story with you.

Main Stage Entertainment
The main stage showcases a variety of traditional dancing and singing from Arizona tribes.
