From medieval merriment to modern melodies, Arizona's rich tapestry of cultures ignites countless celebrations and festivals throughout the year. This vibrant energy means there's almost always a festival of one kind or another happening somewhere in Arizona.
One of the more popular festivals is the Renaissance Festival, where you can step back in time to an age of chivalrous knights, fair damsels, and court jesters. In this seven-week-long ode to the olden times, you can feast on oversized turkey drumsticks and a flagon of ale, test your skill at archery and feats of strength, and cheer on your favorite jouster in the live jousting tournament. You can also meet Twig the Fairy, purchase a flowered garland for your favorite damsel, or visit a fortune teller's hut. Gifted artists and artisans abound, plying their wares, while troubadours and bards stroll the streets sharing tales of yore. Whatever your interest, the Renaissance Festival offers something for everyone to enjoy.
Beyond the realm of knights and fairies, Arizona's festival scene encompasses a multitude of weekend celebrations during any holiday season. Whatever the season, whatever the day, you're bound to find a celebration unfolding in one of our fair cities. Arizona also boasts Fine Art and Wine Festivals, as well as Southwest and Native American (Indian) art fairs, and culinary events, including Arizona's famous Chili cook-off, which abound throughout the year.
Western enthusiasts will enjoy festivals like the annual Cowboy and Indian Days in Casa Grande or the Shootout at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, and mining festivals like Old Dutchman Days in Apache Junction. For those with a taste of the exotic Orient, Arizona also boasts several annual festivals featuring Japanese and Chinese heritage and art.
