Heritage Days return to Grand Canyon National Park

After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the Heritage Days celebration is returning to Grand Canyon National Park.

The North Rim event celebrates the cultures of 11 native tribes associated with the Grand Canyon area. 

It highlights botany and the night sky, and features dance and music performances.

The three-day event, which runs Aug. 5-7, began in 1993 as Paiute Days.
