Sedona AZ (December 12, 2014) – Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village is truly the happening center for holiday fun. After the back-to-back Festival of Trees and Festival of Lights, it’s time to motor on over for one last holiday bash, the Second Annual Holiday Sweet Stroll. It takes place Saturday, December 20th from 3:00 to 7:00 pm. Come for non-stop entertainment— festive seasonal music and song, Dickens carolers, delectable sweets in the boutique shops and galleries, and the sweetest holiday deals in town! Admission is free and discounts abound on purchased items in the shops.
Tlaquepaque’s walkways and courtyards will be transformed into a festive display of holiday wonder. And for children and the young at heart, where else will you find a life-size snow globe, or visits from the Snow Queen and Ice Princess of “Frozen” fame or the lovely Cinderella? Princess lessons, story time, singing, and lots of photo ops will make this a special time for everyone. So write out your holiday lists, peruse the shops, enjoy the deals, savor some sweet confections, and be of good cheer!
