Wakpa Ipaksan Wacipi

The Wakpa Ipaksan Wacipi is held at our nation's Wacipi grounds located north of Flandreau west of Highway 13. The Dakota term Wakpa Ipaksan means a bend in the river and that is the exact location where our annual Wacipi is held, along the winding banks of the Big Sioux River. Camping is available for participants, vendors and guests during our annual powwow. There are eight RV / camper sites located on the north side of the river. These campgrounds are connected to our Wacipi grounds by a foot bridge. 2026 marks the 64th annual Wacipi. See our website or Facebook for more information.
