The Red Dirt Concert Series is a collaboration between the city of Sedona and Friends of the Posse Grounds who spent 14 years planning and raising funds to create and provide a performance venue that would be used to showcase artistic talent in Sedona. In May of 2017, an inaugural performance was held to celebrate the opening of the park, and that fall began the first Red Dirt Concert Series. Since then, it has been the location of many public and private events including festivals, concerts, weddings, speaking engagements, award ceremonies, celebrations, movies and more!
These concerts are free to attend. Posse Grounds Pavilion is located at 525 Posse Grounds Rd. Questions about the Red Dirt Concert Series or the performer applications can be emailed to jvargo@sedonaaz.gov.
