Festival of Trees
November 23rd – December 1st, 2012

Family fun alert! Signaling the beginning of the 2012 Holiday season, Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village is celebrating its popular Festival of Trees, fast becoming a Sedona signature event. On Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, November 23, be sure to head to Tlaquepaque’s La Sala de los Milagros ballroom where you will enter a dazzling artist’s fantasy world of holiday magic—50 seasonal trees decorated with artistic imagination and precise execution by local artists, businesses and non-profits. Don’t miss a visit from Santa for the young and young at heart as well from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. To benefit local charities, the 50 art-inspired trees will be available through silent auction bidding. Bids can be placed beginning Friday, November 23rd and closing on Saturday December 1st from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the Festival of Trees cocktail and light fare reception ($20.00 per person and $35.00 per couple). In addition to excellent food, seasonal music and plenty of good cheer, exceptional raffle items— a 3-day Getaway at the Peaks in Telluride from Sedona Pines and a $500.00 gift certificate to Bennali Outdoor Gear — will put everyone in the holiday spirit. Other popular raffle items include dinner for two from the elegant Rene Restaurant; Earth Wisdom, Hummer, and Day in the West off-road adventure tours; and a variety of fun wine tastings from local wineries. Santa will also make an appearance that evening. For more information please visit Tlaquepaque Arts and Crafts Village.
