Its main feature is a dance competition in a number of categories for men, women, and children, and it also features more than 60 Native American arts vendors, as well as authentic Indian food. (A limited number of vendor spaces are still available; application forms may be downloaded from the Mesa Pow Wow Web page, at www.cityofmesa.org, under “Events.”)
