Shiprock Navajo Fair

The Oldest and Most Traditional of the Navajo Fairs

During the fall in Navajo Land, the Navajo people of the Four Corners come to celebrate the year's harvest with a community celebration.

The Shiprock Navajo Fair offers a variety of events including arts and crafts, exhibits of horticulture, science, agriculture and livestock. The Miss Northern Navajo competition, a baby contest, concerts to comedians, song and dance competitions. Food concessionaires, a carnival and of course the SNF Parade through the main street of Shiprock.

The Shiprock Navajo Fair is held to coincide with the conclusion of an ancient Navajo healing ceremony. The Night Way, a nine-day chant is commonly called "Ye'ii'-Bi-Chei". This is a very complex and detailed ritual and usually is held after the first frost. The public is welcome to view parts of the ceremony during the fair.

I went to this powwow on Sunday. It was soo dusty!!! My allergies started acting up. The drum groups i counted were about 10. Mile Post 30 was the host I think and Southern Outlawz did the gourd. I didnt stay long cause of the wind and dust...
