Wilson Weekend: 5 Happenings This Weekend

Saturday, September 24 to Sunday, September 25, 10:00am-4:00pm

945 E Baddour Pkwy, Lebanon, TN

James E Ward Agricultural Center

The WilCo Pow Wow began in 1991 when a local, Wilson County man with Native American heritage dreamed of educating his community in Native American culture. This man, Don Yahola, and his family have worked hard to produce an authentic Pow Wow experience that brings awareness to the rich Native American culture and heritage found not only in Tennessee but throughout the nation. The success of the then-named “Mt. Juliet Pow Wow” outgrew its humble beginnings at Suggs Creek Saddle Club in Mt. Juliet, and was moved to the Wilson County Fairgrounds in 1991. The newly re-imagined and re-branded “WilCo Pow Wow” will feature over 150 Native American dancers and drummers, authentic Native American food, arts, crafts, and entertainment activities, such as pottery making, weaving and tomahawk throwing.
