The Celebration:

Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation’s ACE program presents the Del Norte Tribal Beach Fest! This is a two-day festival to celebrate the introduction of a new year-round surfing program for the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation and surrounding Tribal communities of Del Norte County in Northern California. The year-round program will be provided by Kate Fox and Alex Landt of Fox + Wolf Sea School! This program was created in light of offering more consistent and in-depth ocean instruction to the Del Norte Tribal Community!
