From Oct. 10-11, Sedona’s oldest and largest premier arts event celebrates 35 years with featured artists, live entertainment, and reduced $5 admission as a gift to the community.
SEDONA, Ariz., Aug. 26, 2026 — Over the weekend of Oct. 10-11, 2026, the 35th Annual Sedona Arts Festival will showcase a diverse lineup of more than 100 juried artists from across the country. Held on the campus of Sedona Red Rock High School, 995 Upper Red Rock Loop Road in West Sedona, this renowned fine art festival will also feature live music, food trucks and more, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Sedona’s red rocks. The festival will run from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Sunday.
Considered Sedona’s oldest and largest premier arts event, the Sedona Arts Festival will be celebrating its 35th birthday with award-winning artists working in a wide array of mediums, including glass, painting, metal, woodworking, photography, ceramics and more. The festival enjoys a great mix of returning artists, along with new artists that keep the show fresh and interesting each year.
In addition to fine art, attendees can enjoy a variety of food truck options, live music throughout the weekend, and Gourmet Row featuring locally produced kitchen, bath, and home items.
In honor of this milestone celebration, entry fees have been significantly reduced to just $5 per person (down from the standard $15 admission). This reduced pricing is made possible through a generous grant provided by the City of Sedona as a gift to the community to mark 35 years of artistic excellence in the region.
“Reaching our 35th anniversary is a milestone we are deeply proud of, and we wanted to celebrate by making this event more accessible than ever,” said Lori Reinhart, SAF’s Executive Director for the past 15 years. “Thanks to the generosity of the City of Sedona and this wonderful grant, we’re thrilled to offer a $5 entry fee as a gift back to the community that has supported us for three and a half decades. It’s our way of saying thank you.”
For 35 years, the Sedona Arts Festival has supported arts education by financially contributing to fellow arts organizations – Chamber Music Sedona, the Sedona International Film Festival, the Sedona Visual Artist Coalition, to name a few – as well as providing scholarships and grants for area students.
The Sedona Arts Festival is supported by the City of Sedona, Sedona Chamber of Commerce and the Arizona Commission on the Arts. Due to the location on public school property, the Sedona Arts Festival is a smoke-free event and only trained service animals are allowed. Attendees are asked to leave pets at home for their safety.
