Celebration of Mexican Independence Day
Continuing a long tradition of fabulous food, music, dance and entertainment for the young and old, the Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village (the art and soul of Sedona) announces its 37 th annual “Fiesta del Tlaquepaque”. This Fiesta is a grand celebration of Mexican Independence Day, and will take place on Saturday, September 11, 2010 from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. Abe Miller, the visionary builder of Tlaquepaque, started this tradition more than 30 years ago and Fiesta attracts people from all over the state and country. This year’s Fiesta promises to be extraordinary!
The flower-strewn streets of Tlaquepaque will ring with the music of strolling mariachi and fiery flamenco dancers. The charming plazas, patios, and streets of Tlaquepaque will be dressed in a festive wash of color, music, and dancing in the spirit of old Mexico. The lively mariachis, the heart-pounding rhythms and beats of Flamenco dancers, and the mouth-watering tastes of Mexico will fill your day.
Arts and crafts exhibits will offer you a glimpse into the traditional and present artistry of Mexico. “The artists at the Fiesta are a great expression of the diversity, artistry and spirit of the community,” said Wendy Lippman, Tlaquepaque General Manager and Resident Partner.
Admission is free and everyone is welcome to come and enjoy all the festivities at this wonderful celebration! Free Road Runner shuttle service will run from 10 am to 5 pm between Tlaquepaque and the Uptown municipal parking lot located on Apple between Jordan and Highway 89A.

I went and watch the “Fiesta del Tlaquepaque” together with my family and we had a great time.We watched the parade and we took some pictures on the people and of course ourselves.
