Flagler County's Native American Festival returned for its ninth annual celebration at Princess Place Preserve.
The festival took place on Feb. 24 and 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and featured a multitude of craft booths, wildlife exhibits, historical and educational displays and traditional Native dancing. Most of the Native music performed at the festival was played by Medicine Tail Singers, a Native American performance and drum group.
Booths featured Native art and craftmanship spanning from the Canadian Ojibway tribe to Mexican Aztecs. Local historical groups demonstrated skills used to survive by indigenous across North America. The festival has been hosted at Princess Place Preserve in Flagler County since 2015.
