Richmond Rd., Ridgecrest • (760)375-8000 roglyph Park. “We have this beautiful park in the heart of Ridgecrest that sup- ports the education and appreciation of the petroglyphs, and it just seemed like the natural location for the festival,” said festival chair- woman and Maturango Museum director Debbie Benson leading up to the 2016 festival. Petroglyph Park opened in conjunction with the inaugural Petro- glyph Festival in 2014, and features rock art reminiscent of the petro- glyphs seen in their natural sites. Those sites are located within the boundaries of Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, which restricts access. There will be Native American film screenings at the Historic USO Building on West Ridgecrest Boulevard. Otherwise, the events will take place at the park. The festival will honor Native American Heritage month with a col- lection of performances and music that inspires and gives reverence to Native American culture and history.
