Discover a Masterpiece ... In Your Own Backyard!
Since 1971, the Scottsdale Arts Festival has established a solid reputation as one of the premier arts festivals in the country. Held every March during the height of Scottsdale's tourist season, the Festival draws tens of thousands of visitors in a single three-day weekend. Scottsdale's oldest arts festival, it remains a popular favorite among visitors and artists. Proceeds from the Festival help support the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts' programs.
The Festival is known for the high quality and variety of fine arts and fine crafts available, as well as the continuous presentations, performances and demonstrations that take place throughout the weekend. Set amidst the lush gardens and beautiful public art sculptures of the Scottsdale Civic Center Mall in downtown Scottsdale, the Festival is a fabulous way to spend an afternoon strolling among exhibitors, visiting with artists and enjoying live performances.
