The Pow Wow Between the Lakes is returning to the South Okanagan Events Centre (SOEC) from July 18 – 20, 2025, bringing together Indigenous communities and visitors for a powerful celebration of culture, dance and tradition.

After a year of remembrance following the passing of Grandma Grace, beloved matriarch whose wisdom and guidance helped shape the event, organizers are honored to bring the Pow Wow back to Penticton. The three day gathering will feature competitive drumming and dancing, cultural demonstrations and opportunities for all to experience the deep traditions and connections of Indigenous people from across the region and beyond.

“We are excited to welcome everyone back to the Pow Wow Between the Lakes”, said Kristine Jack, Society Director. “ The event has always been about celebrating our culture, strengthening our communities and sharing traditions, and this year’s gathering will be especially meaningful”.

Hosted in Partnership with the City of Penticton, the Pow Wow Between the Lakes provides a space for reconciliation, learning, and celebration, welcoming Indigenous and non-Indigenous guests to witness the beauty and resilience of First Nations traditions.
