Native American month honors Native American wisdom and culture and gives everyone a chance to explore the rich cultural and traditions of Native Americans throughout the region. The community at large is invited to observe Native American tra- ditions to celebrate its past and honor the culture that has been an in- tegral part of the region. Continuing this year are bus tours to Little Petroglyph Canyon, Na- tive American film screenings, and an expanded program of STEM education sponsored by the Ridgecrest Area Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Sierra Sands Unified School District. A spot on a Little Petroglyph Canyon tour can be reserved via the Maturango Museum, www.maturango.org. There will also be a wine walk, as in years past, with tickets going for $20. In addition, there will be a beer garden. Tickets will be avail- able at the festival’s website, www.rpfestival.com. Among Saturday’s events are a family fun zone, wild burros from Bureau of Land Management land available for children to feed, live performances on three stages, and film screenings. On Sunday, there will be a classic car show. The tours, street fair and Native American performances are currently scheduled to run both days.
