"The Walker River Paiute Tribe extends an invitation to the public to join in festivities at the Annual Pinenut Festival from September 17-20, 2009. The Tribe hosts the Annual Pine-nut Blessing on the third weekend in September of each year. The Blessing features the best singers and beautiful songs for the Pine-nut Blessing Ceremony. This is a time honored event when Tribal members come home and Indian people from many nations come to partake in the blessed event.

The Festival will include a Talent Show, Pow Wow, Fun Run, Kid's Games, Indian Car Contest and Parade, Horseshoe Contests, Arm Wrestling, Stick Games, Cradleboard Contest, and an All Indian Rodeo.
