If you have never experienced the drums, the dances, the celebration and the pagentry of an actual Native American Pow-Wow, this preservation event of heritage and jubilation is a must see for young and old. Visitors will appreciate the visualization of a legacy that lived long before this country was created.
This is a non-tribal event but it includes an actual Indian Pow-Wow. Traditional non-trial dance and songs will highlight the ceremonies with lots of Native American hand crafts and merchandise for sale and plenty of food and fun.
Veronica Swift - Virginia Junior All Star Jazz - Don't Miss the show. THERE WILL BE SOME SURPRISE GUESTS!

EASTER BUNNY RESCUE
a GPS search for
fun & treats!
April 16, 23 & 30th
Friends of Occoneechee State Park and the Park are sponsoring GPS egg hunts for youth and adults. Last year in the first one day such event, over 200 kids and parents hopped in sack races, balanced eggs on spoons and hunted for Easter Eggs all the while being greeted and photographed with, who else, the Easter Bunny! Call for more information.
Kids of all ages welcome Spring & Easter at the first Easter Field Day at Occoneechee State Park.

The Easter Bunny hopped into a few games & spent lots of time for photos with kids.
