The Bishop Pabanamanina Pow Wow is hosted on the Bishop Paiute Reservation in Bishop, California, in the Eastern Sierra's Owens Valley. The gathering is traditionally held in late September over California Native American Day weekend, with festivities that have included a community parade and dancing at the powwow grounds on the reservation.
Visitors can experience dancing, drumming, and Native vendors, and the nearby Owens Valley Paiute-Shoshone Cultural Center offers a deeper look at the heritage of the region's Paiute and Shoshone people. Dates for the 2026 powwow had not been announced at the time of writing; recent editions have run the last full weekend of September.
