7th Annual Plein Air Festival
The Finest Plein Air Painters in the Country

Sedona Plein Air Festival is a celebration of Sedona’s extraordinary beauty as seen through the eyes of the finest plein air painters in the country. The week long festival will feature these painters all over town – on the streets, trailheads, creeks and vistas – capturing the beauty of the Sedona area on canvas. “En pleinair,” French for “in the open air,” is a spontaneous art form with artists creating outdoors, responding to the immediacy of the moment and reflecting the excitement of the changing light, weather conditions and deepening shadows on canvas. For all the event listings visit Sedona Plein Air Festival.

Featured Sedona-Verde Valley Tours
Verde Canyon Railroad
“Fall Colors Tour”
Passengers on the Verde Canyon Railroad are treated to a gentle ride through a high-walled canyon painted in an array of vibrant autumn hues that shimmer and change around every curve in the track. October and November bring crisp nights followed by warm sunny days beneath a sky achingly and endlessly blue. Be sure to keep a sharp eye peeled for wildlife. Sightings of deer, Javelina, coyote and other species increase this time of year and migratory birds return to the sanctuary. It may be due to cooling temperatures, or maybe the critters just don’t want to miss all the dazzling autumn scenery. For more information please visit the Verde canyon Railroad.
