Full details: This year’s Market will be the largest ever, anticipating over 300 booths featuring Native American artists with traditional and modern turquoise, coral, sliver and He Shi jewelry, pottery, beadwork, baskets, weaving and many other displays. Food booths and fresh farm produce will also be featured. In addition to the crafts, relaxed atmosphere and food, local tribes will perform Indian dances; singers and other performers are scheduled throughout the three days. Free admission and parking. Sammy Garcia, Chairman of the Arts & Crafts Committee for Santo Domingo Tribe said that the fair is a popular place for people to meet the craftspeople directly, and become acquainted with the styles, techniques and materials used to produce the art. Many long lasting relationships have been built through the years, as buyers have been invited to learn more about the local culture, and develop friendships that bring them back for future events.
