Dear Cultural Fire Events Community,
By now, some of you have probably heard that we are announcing the cancellation of the 2025 Red Canyon Powwow. This decision was not made lightly, and after much thought and discussion, we felt it was important to be transparent with you—our community that we deeply respect and serve.
Over the past years, the Moab and Grand County community has welcomed us with open arms, helping us create a space where culture, connection, and celebration could thrive. Your support has meant everything to us, and we are deeply grateful for every dancer, singer, vendor, volunteer, sponsor, donor, and attendee who has helped make this event so special.
Unfortunately, changes in funding this year have made it impossible to provide the experience and quality our community deserves. Without the necessary resources, we are unable to host the powwow at the level of excellence that reflects its spirit and significance.
While we are sad to cancel the powwow this year, we are excited to announce “Dancing with Traditions”, a smaller community event hosted by Cultural Fire Events, which will take place. We invite the Moab and Grand County community to join us on Friday, October 17th, at 7 PM for an evening of dance, culture, and connection. This is our way of ensuring that the heart of the powwow remains alive and present in the community we love so much.
Thank you for your understanding, patience, and the love you have shown us year after year. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
With gratitude,
The Cultural Fire Events Team
