The Powwow opens at 10 a.m. on Friday, March 18, at the Denver Coliseum, 4600 Humboldt Street, and runs through the weekend; events go as late as 11:30 p.m. each day. But the greatest thrill could be the Grand Entry, a parade featuring intricate costuming and dazzlingly intricate choreography, set for 7 p.m. March 18 and March 19, and 11 a.m. March 20. Tickets are $7 per day, or $20 for a three-day pass; for more information, call 303-934-8045.
