    Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village, Sedona AZWorld-class Music, Flamenco, Folk Dancers and Kid Zone Fun!

    Sedona AZ (August 31, 2016) – Twirling dancers in brilliantly colored traditional Mexican folk costumes, the pounding rhythms of fiery, sensuous flamenco, strolling mariachis delighting the crowds, music galore and the scents and tastes of Old Mexico. It’s time for Fiesta del Tlaquepaque! This year’s Sedona signature event takes place Saturday, September 10 from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. Admission is free and a good parking option is available at the Uptown municipal parking lot with continuous shuttle service to and from Fiesta  during the hours  of the event.

    Gather your family and friends and come celebrate Mexican Independence Day in grand style at Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village. For the first time, the beautiful, newly completed Tlaquepaque North will be part of the fun. For over four decades the Sedona community and fortunate visitors have enjoyed the rousing music, dances and cultural expressions from Old Mexico. Tlaquepaque, authentically fashioned after a charming Mexican village of the same name, is a world-renowned shopping destination and also has the distinction of hosting some of the most popular cultural fiestas and festivals in the region.

    The kids will be thrilled by two favorite pastimes, balloon twisting into cool animal shapes and by the most imaginative face painting you’ve ever seen. Both will take place along Calle Independencia. Back for another year are caricature paintings by the talented Jeremy Drysdale, who will create a fun sketch of your child for free in Tlaquepaque North.

    Of course, Tlaquepaque’s boutiques and art galleries offer an adventure in discovery and an education in the art and beauty of handcrafted items, many available only at Tlaquepaque. Plan to stay all day and dine in one of five excellent restaurants, each with its own scrumptious cuisine to please the entire family! Be sure to head across the street to Tlaquepaque North and check out the new shops and the excellent fare at the Pump House Station Urban Eatery.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
