The Eiteljorg Indian Market & Festival

The annual Eiteljorg Indian Market & Festival is an Indy summer tradition and one of the most beloved cultural festivals in the Midwest. Shop for jewelry, pottery, paintings, beadwork and more from more than 100 Native Artists from across the United States and Canada. Enjoy cultural performances including music, dance and storytelling, and family art-making activities while eating fry bread and other food from local vendors.

New this year: Turtle Island, a remarkable performance by eight dancers from the Seneca Nation who present the Haudenosaunee story of creation. During the group’s weekend performances, a large turtle inflatable balloon, appears above the dancers onstage as the story unfolds.  

Also, returning for the second year is the dance troupe Indigenous Enterprise, whose intertribal members are championship powwow dancers and perform a thrilling mix of Native dances.
