Choctaw Nation Announces 2022 Labor Day Plans

The 2022 Choctaw Nation Labor Day Festival will return this year after being canceled for two years due to the pandemic. The festival will take place on the Tvshka Homma Capitol Grounds Sept. 2 through Sept. 4.

“I am thrilled to announce the 2022 Labor Day festival and look forward to gathering with everyone,” said Chief Gary Batton. “The festival gives us an opportunity to fellowship, share stories and come together as a tribe.”

For years Choctaw families and friends have gathered on the capitol grounds during the Labor Day weekend to celebrate and honor the Chahta culture.

The 2022 schedule will include traditional events like gourd dancing, princess pageants, sporting tournaments, vendor booths, carnival rides, and more.

The festival schedule of events will be available in July on the Choctaw Nation web page. Please follow Choctaw Nation social media channels for updated information and visit www.choctawnation.com/events/cultural/labor-day/ for RV reservations, vendor applications and additional details.
