45th Annual MOWA Choctaw Pow Wow Returns to Mount Vernon in October

The Mississippi-Louisiana Choctaw Nation is preparing for its 45th annual pow wow in Mount Vernon, Alabama, scheduled for the first weekend in October. The event will feature traditional drumming, dance performances, and a pageant celebrating Choctaw culture and heritage.

The pow wow represents one of the region's longest-running celebrations of Native American traditions. According to organizers, attendees can expect to experience authentic cultural demonstrations and competitions that have drawn visitors from across the Southeast for nearly five decades.

While Mount Vernon is across the state line in Alabama, the event draws participants and visitors from throughout the Southeast, including from the Florida Panhandle region. Details on specific schedule, admission, and activities are available through event organizers.
