For their upcoming celebration, a major event in Sussex County, many members of the Nanticoke Indian Tribe have been planning and laboring to insure their 31st Annual Powwow is even more exciting and special than in years past.
The tribal chief, tribal council, program directors, committee chairpersons and their volunteers invite and welcome everyone to attend and learn about Nanticoke history and culture throughout the last 400 years.
This celebration will be held Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 6-7, in Long Neck/Millsboro, in a wooded area with ample parking for visitors including school and tour buses and motorcycles.
Tribal trams will be used to transport visitors from the parking area to the powwow site.
About 40 tribal American Indian vendors will be on site with a variety of items for sale such as arts and crafts, clothing, jewelry, paintings, pottery, videos, DVD’s, CDs and much more.
Food vendors will provide chicken, hotdogs, fries, fish, hamburgers, succotash, Indian tacos, Indian frybread and Pepsi products to drink.
All day parking including admission is $8 per car; walk-in admission is $2 for adults and $1 for children; $5 for motorcycles; $25 for buses plus $2 per person on the bus, and the driver will have to collect the fee for each bus.
