The Haramokngna American Indian Cultural Center invites you to the 3rd annual Fall Flute Circle Festival deep in the San Gabriel Mountains in the Angeles National Forest amidst the oaks and cedars overlooking the City. Calling on their roots, Native American flutists, and Indigenous musicians, singers, and dancers from the Western Hemisphere together create an unforgettable experience with their offerings of music, song, dance and ceremony. Evocative and haunting, the music will rise over the mountains and spread its blessings over the land.

The program includes music on the flute by Bill “Elkwhistle” Neal, Carlos Reynosa, Gary Lemos and Sarah Thomson, Scot Cunningham, Manny Saenz, Eric Sevilla, and Erik Alvarado. Also performing are the Desert Cahuilla Birdsingers, the Bolivian group Kiya Runa, the Ohlone Humayan Dancers, the Pima Singers and Dancers, the Southern California Sacred Sites Singers, and many others. An “open mic” area allows for new musicians to share their songs. Workshops in flute making, water drum construction, gourd rattle and clapper stick making, and flute performance are a part of this event. A highlight is the opening blessing of the City from the headwaters of the Arroyo Seco, and a Fall Equinox celebration with the marking of the sun symbols. Also included is an opening reception for the “World Faces” photography exhibit in the Toypurina Gallery, which feature artists’ booths and hands-on cultural activities.
