July Mittark
Annual Homecoming July 3 - 5
The 105th Annual Mashpee Wampanoag Powwow will be held July 3, 4, and 5 on the Powwow Grounds at 483 Great Neck Road South in Mashpee.
Powwow is our time to come home.
Each year, our families, elders, youth, dancers, singers, vendors, volunteers, and community members come together to carry forward one of our most important annual gatherings. It is a time to reconnect with relatives, honor our ancestors, support one another, and celebrate who we are as Mashpee Wampanoag people.
As we prepare for this year’s Powwow, Tribal citizens are encouraged to come out, bring their families, support our vendors, help where they can, and be part of the work that makes this gathering possible. Whether you are dancing, singing, volunteering, vending, cooking, visiting with family, or simply showing up in community, your presence matters.
Powwow has always been more than a weekend on the calendar. It is a reminder of our strength, our continuity, and our responsibility to each other and to the generations coming after us.
We look forward to seeing our Tribal community come together once again for the 105th Annual Mashpee Wampanoag Powwow.
