IMPORTANT PARKING INFORMATION

We are thrilled by the overwhelming community response to Aurora’s first traditional powwow. Interest in this event has far exceeded expectations, and we are grateful for the excitement and support.

Parking at the Plains Conservation Center is extremely limited. Attendees are strongly encouraged to carpool or use a rideshare service. Once the parking lot reaches capacity, the entrance will be closed and additional vehicles will not be permitted to enter. Parking enforcement will be in effect in the surrounding neighborhoods, and attendees should not plan to park nearby and walk to the event.

Admission to the event remains free and open to the public. We encourage guests who plan to attend to arrive early and prepare for limited parking availability.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we celebrate Native American culture and traditions together. Please visit AuroraPROS.org/PCCpowwow.

Take a quick trip to Colorado’s high plains to experience life on the prairie then and now.  The Plains Conservation Center is a nature preserve and educational center with replicas of a homestead village and tipi camp that showcase pioneer and plains Native Americans life in the late 1800s. The center encompasses over 1,100 acres of short grass prairie with breathtaking views of the Rocky Mountains. It is located at 21901 E. Hampden Ave. Aurora, CO 80013. 

Come into the visitor center before you head out on the trails to pick up a map and learn about the history of the site. Visitors can hike along rolling trails and are likely to see bald eagles, prairie dogs, pronghorn, coyotes and red-tailed hawks.

It's free to come in, hike the trails, explore the visitor center and check out the tipis and homestead village. There is a fee to attend any guided programs.
