Don't miss the 2008 Tlaquepaque Festival of Trees Nov 28 - Dec 6
Over 25 Christmas trees will be elaborately ornamented by some of Sedona’s favorite artists including Andrea Smith, Lisa Danielle, Rod Bearcloud, Chris Navarro, Robert Shields, and John Soderberg and displayed on the upper terrace overlooking Patio del Norte. Silent bids will be taken on each art inspired tree—some six footers and the smaller tabletop faux trees. Proceeds will go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Arizona and the Chameleon Project in Sedona.
The “Festival of Trees” will run November 28th, 2008 until December 6th. During this period, the Christmas trees-turned-art will be on display and can be viewed and bid on.
Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village is located at 336 Highway 179 in Sedona, AZ. The event will take place on the upper terrace overlooking Patio del Norte.
