The Sedona Arts Festival is a favorite in the Southwest during the busy fall tourist season. Sedona has a fairly affluent retired population that enjoys the festival and comes to spend. During the busy fall tourist season it is usually cool and dry with temperatures in the mid 70's.
With Sedona's spectacular red rocks as a backdrop and glorious fall weather to compliment the event, the festival attracts approximately 3,000 seasonal and year round residents and tourists. The festival showcases fine artists from around the country, as well as a Gourmet Gallery. KidZone offers activities for children. Raffle prizes, live music (no lyrics), and a variety of food and beverages are available as well.

Thanks so much for an expertly run event. The Sedona Arts Festival is the best run, most artist friendly event I have ever done. I first began doing art fairs in 1967. In 1985 I took a 25 year hiatus and restarted a couple years ago. I have done ACE shows, big events like Old Town in Chicago and the original Ann Arbor street fair, 4th Ave in Tucson, Tubac and both indoor and outdoor venues. The level of communication with the artists by you and obviously the background workday the staff and volunteers, is second to none.
