Autumn Colors of Sedona & Fall Festivities

With cooler temperatures on the horizon, the Sedona landscape changes with the rising and setting sun. Do you love fall, and the beauty the season brings? The rusts, reds and golds – the richness of the countryside offers breathtaking vistas, crisp morning air, and hues easy on the eyes.

The Sedona Chamber of Commerce has partnered with the Flagstaff Convention and Visitors Bureau to use the LEAFometer! This shows the progress of the colors to visitors, residents, and future visitors, including Oak Creek Canyon.

As the season changes, Sedona gets ready for the “fall” round of festivities! The weekend of October 22 has a host of activities. There is the Main Street Paint Out – the culmination of Sedona Plein Air Festival. See artists painting in the plazas, sidewalks, along the banks of oak Creek; they must complete a painting in three hours!

The evening of the 22nd head over to Posse Grounds Park and party at Red Rocks Oktoberfest! From 4:00 – 9:00 p.m. enjoy 12+ craft breweries, wine, food, music and FUN!

Dia de los Muertos is the celebration of those who have passed and to honor ancestors. Join the festivities at Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village October 25-29. Enjoy the Mural Marigold Project, music food, fire dancers, face painting and more!
