Review: Balboa Park Pow Wow

admin — Tue, 11 May 2010 02:27:40 +0000

The sun came out in the afternoon, but the wind was blowing cold. Parking was a bit of a bear, but the music was enchanting. The food was your typical fair food. Indian tacos and Rez dogs seemed to be favorites. The aroma of the kettle corn was irresistible, and was quite tasty. The regalia of the dancers was amazing, such detail and color. I don’t know if they give prizes for regalia, but they definitely should! Lots of vendors selling their wares (jewelry, pottery, antiques, etc), so it was fun to simply walk around and check things out. I think the most fun for the kids would be the dancing, but you have to get there early to get a good spot around the circle.
