 Discover Tlaquepaque! was created as an invitation to explore and enjoy its world-class galleries, charming shops and four fantastic restaurants. You’ll read about some of Sedona’s seasoned and emerging artists who work and exhibit in Tlaquepaque, highlights of upcoming festivals and events that have become part of Sedona’s lively culture, delightful shopping finds, delicious Tlaquepaque recipes to try at home, and even a little bit of history to satisfy your curiosity.

A Sunday Morning at Tlaquepaque in Sedona, Arizona

Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village
A Wonderful Sunday at Tlaquepaque

Photo by Lisa Peters

I love to visit Tlaquepaque Arts & Craft Village any day of the week any time of the year, but for the first time in all my time living in the area I went to the village early on a Sunday morning. I was not expecting much, it was around 8:00 am and I knew the galleries would not be open yet. To my surprise their were a few people there enjoying a bite at the Secret Garden Cafe, I checked out their menu and it looked pretty good but breakfast was not on my mind. I proceeded into the Village and it was like I had never been there before. Everything looked different.
