2026 Arizona Two Spirit Powwow Hosted By Phoenix Indian Center
The Arizona Two Spirit Powwow was founded in 2019 by Native PFLAG, the first Native American PFLAG chapter established in the U.S. Since then the Phoenix Indian Center, in partnership with dedicated 2SLGBTQ+ community members and allies, has continued the powwow’s mission to bring our community together in celebration of our Two Spirit relatives by hosting this annual event.
Join us at our Annual Arizona Two Spirit Powwow! Each year, we host the free, one-day event at South Mountain Community College in Phoenix. There will be a vendor market and food trucks, stay tuned for more details! We look forward to celebrating our Two Spirit, Indigiqueer, and LGBTQ+ community!
