ACHF Cultural Heritage
We expect over 6000 attendees, with over 400 performers such as dancers and drummers. We have experienced roughly a 15% increase in attendance each of the past seven years. We will also have over 45 cultural vendors, increasing 10% each year. Each year we offer donation buttons which we use to keep track of attendance. We also count the amount of dancers at the end of the Pow Wow during their payout. Every year we send out a survey to all of our artisans requesting their feedback on how we can improve.
