Welcome to the Annual Makah Days Celebration

Each year, on the weekend closest to the August 26th anniversary, the Tribe prepares for the schedule of events. The list of celebration events is extensive. Enjoy the blend of our traditions of the past with modern times. Some of our cultural activities of the past include: traditional dancing, war canoe races, and salmon bakes. You may also wish to browse the street fair for native arts and crafts or more modern items. Don't miss the Grand Parade, the fireworks or the coronation of the Makah Royal Court.

One of the longest standing Makah Days traditions! Come join us for some fun! As always, the Slahal games are a strictly drug and alcohol free event. Bring your money, something to bet in the traditional game (I have a jar or two of jam), your chair, and don't forget that extra set. See you at the games!
