Holidays in Sedona

The most popular times for visitors in Sedona is undeniably the warmer months. However, Sedona has a lot to offer during the winter season as well! The holidays are particularly busy, with local businesses coming together with the city to create many different types of festivities. There is already magic in Sedona and that special something only becomes more obvious during the holiday season.

The Sedona Northern Lights is a breathtaking event that will be going on from December 13th to the 16th.  At the top of each hour from 6 to 9pm, the 3D light show will begin. This even is being produced by PaintScaping and presented by the Sedona Chamber of Commerce and the City of Sedona. This festive, family-friendly event is free to the public and will be visible from various points throughout Uptown Sedona and Gallery Row – and can even be seen in some areas in West Sedona. The goal of the show is to highlight Sedona’s natural beauty, art scene, and to raise awareness of the need to protect the area’s dark skies.

The Tlaquepaque Center is hosting two stunning holiday events. The Festival of Lights first began 46 years ago and is a highly anticipated holiday event in Sedona. This year the festival is on December 8th. The schedule includes a visit from Santa, live music, and cider. The main event is the lighting of the luminarias, which begins promptly at 5pm. Special luminarias to honor cancer survivors can be purchased on site. The other event is the annual Sweet Stroll. Local galleries and restaurants will be working with Tlaquepaque to create this magical evening. The businesses will be opening their doors and offering treats, giveaways, and discounts. There will be carolers ushering in the holiday season as well. The Southwest Inn at Sedona is perfectly located for access to downtown Sedona, as well as the hiking trails and Oak Creek Canyon. Our staff also has more suggestions for family friendly holiday activities.
