Over 35 years ago, the Town of Patagonia held its first fall festival to showcase extraordinary talent and artistry against the beautiful backdrop of their community, nestled at over 4000 feet in the mountains of Southeast Arizona. 
​
Today, the event hosts top-of-the-line entertainment over two days, as well as featuring food and beverage vendors for every taste along with the offerings of Patagonia’s well-known eateries such as the Velvet Elvis, Gathering Grounds, Wild Horse, and the Wagon Wheel Saloon.  Event favorites include the Patagonia Library Book Sale, the Fire Department BBQ as well as the SOUTH 32 KidsZone.  

​The event places a focus on tourism to the Sky Islands region, supporting small businesses, wineries and regional experiences that only Patagonia, Sonoita & Elgin can offer.  The weekend will feature the main event which will be located a the Patagonia Town Park, featuring over 120 artisans, food vendors and exhibitors, as well as live music, entertainment and picnic fun. 

We encourage the community to not only visit the artisan market, but to also take part in visiting local wineries, shoppes, outdoor spaces and restaurants.
