Visitors
The Patagonia Fall Festival is known throughout the state as one of Arizona’s best small town celebrations. Shoppers can expect to see unique gifts and goodies from over 125 arts, crafts, non-stop entertainment, specialty food, not-for-profit, and information booths of exhibitors from around the West in the shady setting of Patagonia Town Park. There will be entertainment featured at the Town Park Gazebo all day – every day of the festival. The complete line-up of preformers is listed below.
Native American jewelry, custom furniture, fine art, sculpture, handmade soaps, chili riestras, pottery, stained-glass, leather goods, beadwork, candles, and roasted almonds are just some of the wonderful items for sale at the festival. More than a dozen food service booths will be offering crowd favorites such as Zuni and Navajo Indian Fry Bread and Tacos, ice cream and Gelato, Texas Twister fruit drinks, and Greek Gyros. Check out the complete list of exhibitors to window shop at the websites of many of our artists and craftsmen.
Children will find plenty more to do with the rides and activities available at the Children’s Carnival located at the south end of Town Park. This year’s carnival will feature bumper boats, an air slide, an obstacle course and a bungee jump for the more adventuresome.
Patagonia Town Park is located on Arizona’s Scenic route 82 between Sonoita and Nogales, approximately one hour from Tucson and three hours from Phoenix. There are many ways you can be a part of the Patagonia Fall Festival – as an advertiser, an exhibitor or a volunteer.
