Wendy Lippman • September 27, 2017

Fall in Sedona is a favorite time of the year, and at Tlaquepaque it's high season, filled with festivals and popular events that happily bring Sedona residents and visitors together. Forty-five years ago founder Abe Miller envisioned Tlaquepaque as a community gathering place to recreate Fiestas from Old Mexico. Since that time, we have worked hard to keep the most time honored traditions alive.

NEW! THE TLAQUEPAQUE TREE TRAIL

The tree trail winds through their establishments providing a wonderful way to get a special taste of all Tlaquepaque has to offer.

DAY OF THE DEAD & MARIGOLD MURAL PROJECT

By Wendy Lippman • October 30, 2020
Tlaquepaque Arts and Shopping Village has provided the perfect setting for south of the border fiestas, festivals, and cultural extravaganzas for the last four decades. Unfortunately, this year we are dealing with the unprecedented COVID pandemic and must pause our highly attended Day of the Dead celebration. There's good news though! Our annual Marigold Mural project is back this year with a NEW SAFE AND EXCITING FORMAT. Join us on Wednesday, November 4 through Saturday, November 7, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Calle Independencia. This project is unique to Tlaquepaque and an artful way to remember your loved ones. The artist Lovejoy will be in attendance again this year, handing out markers as she guides and answers questions regarding the mural and your contributions. Face masks and sanitizer will also be available for those who need them.

THE PERFECT WEDDING, RIGHT NOW

By Wendy Lippman • September 4, 2020
The Micro-Wedding Plan a bite-sized version of a traditional wedding and celebrate with 50 or fewer of your closest friends and family. Usually, a shorter timeline (3 hours instead of 5), these intimate events still include a ceremony and celebration with flowers, cake, music, and more, and can be designed to your liking. Bonuses: More time to spend with each of your guests A more affordable solution or an opportunity to allocate money to the things you care about the most (you no longer have 150 people coming, so you can spend more money on your dress!) Less to plan and manage which can mean less stress For the eco-conscious, a smaller carbon footprint
