Wild Onion Feast

The Indian Women’s Pocahontas Club Higher Education Scholarship Fundraiser

The Indian Women’s Pocahontas Club welcomes you to celebrate the tradition of the “Wild Onion Feast”. The tradition started many years ago. The Cherokee people welcomed spring with the harvesting of wild onions after a long, cold winter. Along with digging only enough Sassafras roots to boil for a special aromatic tea, it was home you go to clean the wild onions, gather eggs, and prepare a feast. This tradition has long been shared with family, friends, and neighbors, bringing families and the community together.

When is the Wild Onion Feast and where is it held?

The Wild Onion Feast is scheduled for March 28, 2026, from 12:00 - 2:00 p.m. This popular event will be held at Claremore First Methodist Church, 1615 N. Hwy 88, Claremore, OK 74017.
