Thank you for your interest in participating in the Spirit of the Buffalo Pow Wow and Native American Festival.
The Pow Wow is an outdoor event held each year in during the last week of January and first week of February during the busiest weeks of Florida’s tourism season. The International Market World is a large flea and farmers market that operates every Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout the year. This popular Central Florida flea market draws between 5,000 to 10,000 visitors per weekend that provides built-in traffic for the Pow Wow. The event is also promoted on TV, radio, billboard, magazine and social media channels.
Vendor booth spaces are setup around a large Big Top tent where the event activities take place. All vendors are required to use white fire-retardant tarps/tents. Electric service is available but limited to selected areas. All vendors are expected to comply with the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990. This law prohibits misrepresentation in marketing of American Indian arts and crafts products within the United States. For more details see: https://www.doi.gov/iacb/act.
If you are not selling authentic Native American hand-crafted items, we would encourage you to explore vendor opportunities at the Market World flea market.
