Experience the culture and history of the Nez Perce tribe while car-camping and exploring a portion of this National Historic Trail that was officially sanctioned in 1986. This annual Tamkalik will be held in Wallowa, located in a beautiful valley of northeastern Oregon. From there the journey proceeds along the Lolo Trail into Idaho, highlighted with a tour of the White Bird and Clearwater Battlefields. The trip concludes at the historic Big Hole Battlefield in western Montana. While the camping will be somewhat primitive, the scenery and history are some of the best our country has to offer.
Camping is available, and recommended, to maximize the total experience.
Pets are not allowed in the fairgrounds. USD will present two courses during the festival that will allow you to learn about, enjoy and participate in this unique musical style. You may take one or both courses. Afternoon sessions are topical workshops including musical theory, sound systems, harmony singing. Jam sessions after the workshop, evening concerts and open mike are all available.
