NATIVE: A Festival of Tribal, Arizona Art & Entertainers will return Friday, Jan. 25 to Sunday, Jan. 27, on the Avenue of the Fountains.
The free, family-friendly festival will celebrate American Indian art, music and storytelling each day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
World champion hoop dancer Moontee Sinquah, and his sons, Scott and Sampson, will perform from 1 to 2 p.m., daily. Sinquah also is a singer with a rock band.
Visitors will also find an eclectic selection of more than 100 fine arts and crafts exhibitors along with local food vendors.
Featured artists include fine jeweler Paz Ehecatl and painter Stephen McCullough of McCullough Fine Arts, a voting member of the Choctaw Indian Nation. He specializes in recreating petroglyphs from cliff walls of the Southwest onto canvas.
McCullough is a voting member of the Choctaw Indian Nation as well as having Scottish ancestry.
“Magic Bird Festivals loves showcasing the culture and storytelling of Native American artists and entertainers at NATIVE,” said Roberta Toombs-Rechlin, Magic Bird Festivals founder.
Roberta Toombs-Rechlin and Lester Rechlin founded Magic Bird Festivals in 1987. The Cave Creek-based company presents entertainment events throughout the state.
