2024 Window Rock, Arizona September Fair Parade / Navajo Nation #NavajoNationFair

Navajo Nation Fair Parade 2024: Experience the vibrant culture and traditions of the Navajo Nation at the annual parade in Window Rock, Arizona! This spectacular event, held during the Navajo Nation Fair, showcases the rich heritage and community spirit of the Diné people. Join me on September 7th for a day filled with colorful floats, traditional dances, and live music. Enthusiastic spectators along Highway 264’s parade route will be lined up and eager to celebrate and honor Navajo culture. Don’t miss the Miss Navajo Nation contestants, who will grace the event with their presence, embodying the beauty and strength of Navajo women. This family-friendly event is perfect for all ages. It offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the traditions and customs of the Navajo Nation and capture the essence of Navajo pride and unity as the community celebrates its heritage. I recorded about 99% of the parade. I kept as many sights and sounds as possible to capture a more realistic atmosphere. And seeing and hearing the Navajo Nation Band in the parade is always refreshing! I’m glad the Navajo Nation President decided on this well-liked parade route. In a way, a walk from New Mexico to Arizona resembles the Long Walk of the Diné. This video is best listened to with over-the-ear headphones (earbuds are fine) or a great stereo speaker system. Enjoy the parade! ************ Timestamps: 00:00:00 Intro 00:00:30 Motorcycle Group 00:14:02 Navajo Nation Band 00:18:23 Miss Navajo Pageant Contestants 00:23:40 Buu Nygren Horseback Riders 00:27:31 Apache Crown Dancers 00:30:31 American Indian Movement 00:31:35 ARAVAIPA & Bryon Ramone 00:33:31 Navajo Nation Council 00:35:24 Little Miss Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial 00:36:46 Cellular One 00:37:42 Dine Development Corporation 00:39:50 Natiana King / Miss Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial 00:41:41 Jonathan Nez 00:45:17 Navajo Technical University 00:50:43 The Master’s Ranch Ministry 00:52:49 Navajo & Hopi Solidarity 00:53:30 Little Miss Twin Lakes 00:54:21 Harris / Walz Float 00:57:43 Miss Eastern Navajo 01:00:14 Chinle JROTC 01:03:00 T’iisyaakin Roadrunners 01:03:57 (Kneel Down Bread Sale) 01:06:30 Short Film Crew / Cleaning’s a Cakewalk 01:07:38 Ms. / Mr. Indigenous ASU 01:08:55 Shiprock Color Guards 01:09:20 Copper Penny Plumbing 01:10:00 WRHS Lady Scouts Cheerleaders 01:11:30 The Good ‘Ol Boys 01:12:06 Tse bit’a’i Middle School 01:13:34 Sage Memorial Hospital 01:16:17 Tobe Turpen Elementary 01:18:35 Miss Central Navajo Pre-Teen 01:21:44 Central Navajo Rodeo Association Queen 01:23:57 Miss Central Agency 01:24:45 Miss Central Navajo Teen 01:25:57 Navajo Prep School Board 01:27:21 Choice Wireless Broadband 01:28:41 Miss Northern Navajo Teen 01:31:00 Dept. of Childcare & Development 01:33:26 Miss Navajo Pine 01:34:32 Dine College 01:36:30 Navajo Preparatory 01:39:02 Kin Dah Lichii Olta Princess 01:39:43 Miss Northern Navajo Teen 01:41:47 Dine Saanii Color Guard 01:42:42 Arizona Metal Roofing 01:45:18 Ganado HS 01:46:56 Miss Southwest Teen 01:49:10 Miss Ramah Navajo Queen 01:50:51 Redtail Accounting 01:51:35 Sandoval County Fair Rodeo Princess 01:53:08 Central Agency Float 01:54:17 Miss Flagstaff HS 01:55:37 Harvest Glory Band 01:56:12 Dr. Andy Nez / Council Delegate 01:59:15 Lukachukai Community School 02:00:23 Mikasa / Window Rock Chinese Restaurant 02:01:33 Miss Chichiltal 02:02:41 Naschitti Elementary School 02:04:26 Miss Central Navajo 02:07:11 Ganado School Princess 02:08:12 Miss Hunter’s Point Boarding School 02:09:21 Gaming Regulatory Office 02:10:06 In Memory of Navajo Code Talker 02:14:15 John Hopkins Center 02:15:38 Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute 02:16:19 White Mountain Apache Princess 02:17:40 University of Arizona 02:18:20 Window Rock Scouts Braves 02:19:26 Miss Jeehdeez’a 02:20:35 Utah State University 02:22:01 Hool’aagoo Home Care 02:24:08 Outro ************ Music: Track: Rhythm Organyzer | Artist: Noir Et Blanc Vie | YouTube Audio Library ************ It would be cool if there were a ‘Shuffle Dance’ entry for next year’s 2025 Window Rock Navajo Nation Fair Parade. Seeing some shuffle dancers teamed up or dancing solo while a DJ plays a mix of Electronic Dance Music (EDM) would be a stimulating spectacle. Stay tuned, and look for my upcoming Window Rock Fair 2024 Fairgrounds video footage on my YouTube channel! ************ #APlusStudentAchiever #WindowRockFair #CulturalHeritage
