In 1988, the Town of Patagonia held its first fall festival—a visionary gathering designed to spotlight extraordinary talent and creativity amidst the stunning natural beauty of this charming community. Decades later, the festival attracts more than 15,000 visitors to Patagonia’s lovely tree-shaded park in the center of town over a festive weekend filled with art, music and food, presented by the Sky Islands Tourism Association and organized by the Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance (SAACA).
