Everyone is invited to join Native Americans from across the country in a family-friendly day of traditional Native American crafts, foods, and dance competitions. The event is free and open to the public. We hope to see you there!

Parking is free and located offsite. Complimentary shuttle service is provided with pickups and dropoffs at two locations throughout the day. All guests can park at Saint Bernard High School and take the complimentary shuttle to the Wigwam Festival. For guests staying at the Mohegan Sun hotels, there will be an additional pick-up/drop-off location at the Sky Hotel lobby.

Honoring Our Mohegan Lands

This year's Wigwam Festival will honor our Mohegan lands which offer a rich history and insight into who we are as a people. On these sacred lands, we don't just follow in the traditions, but the footsteps of our ancestors who came before us. We prioritize passing their stories and their traditions on to our children and future generations of Mohegans. We are surrounded by their memories and these important sites help tell the story of their perseverance. Our lands, whether part of our current Reservation, or the surrounding area our ancestors once called home, are a reminder that understanding where you came from empowers you to know where you are going. It is one of many reasons why the Tribe remains so committed to preserving these important sites on our current Reservation and beyond.
