Indigenous Peoples Day Celebration Cancelled Due to Impending Weather

VVAC’s Indigenous Peoples Day Celebration on Saturday, October the 11th has been cancelled due to severe weather conditions expected to reach inland from Hurricane Priscilla. We apologize for the unfortunate news and are disappointed to cancel the outdoor Native American Artist Market, as well as Clive J. Hustito’s museum presentation and reception. 

The welfare and safety of the artists and their families who are traveling great distances to exhibit for the market is paramount. We are also concerned for the well-being and safety of event attendees and visitors. Clive J. Hustito expresses the same sentiment for the security of everyone.   

Additionally, this was a non-ticketed event and free to the public. Please note, VVAC does not charge artist booth fees or artist application fees. We strive to create an accessible environment for artists, community members, and visitors. 

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. We look forward to rescheduling Clive J. Hustito and will keep everyone posted when a new date for his presentation is selected. 

Lastly, the Town of Camp Verde postponed all Fort Verde Days events that were scheduled for this weekend to next weekend. The Town’s decision was made in consultation with Yavapai County Emergency Management, the Camp Verde Marshal’s Office, Copper Canyon Fire and Medical, and Flagstaff NOAA, all of whom have advised that the forecasted storm could bring heavy rainfall, high winds, hail, and potential flash flooding across Yavapai County.
