Welcome to the Patagonia Fall Festival Website

The Patagonia Fall Festival is known throughout the state as one of Arizona’s best small town celebrations. It’s truly a community event, with local residents, businesses and not-for-profit groups working together to create a fiesta that offers entertainment, food and gifts for the whole family. Shoppers can expect to see an abundance of fine arts, crafts and food booths located in the cool, shady setting of Patagonia Town Park. With a 21 year track record of success, the festival is expanding to three days this year to offer an additional day of shopping to those who want to get an early start on Christmas. The festival is starts at 11:00 am on Friday, October 8th and will open at 10:00 am on both Saturday, October 9th and Sunday, October 10th.

Shoppers can expect to see unique gifts and goodies from over 125 arts, crafts, entertainment, specialty food, not-for-profit, and information booths of exhibitors from around the West. Check out our list of exhibitors to window shop at the websites of many of our artists and craftsmen.

Proceeds from this year’s festival will benefit the Town of Patagonia’s Park Preservation Fund, a non-profit political corporation. Funds will be used to preserve the beautiful trees and landscaping in the park and maintain the existing park facilities.

Children will find plenty more to do with the rides and activities available at the Children’s Carnival located at the south end of Town Park. This year’s carnival will feature adventure rides for “big” kids as well as great rides for younger children.

Patagonia Town Park is located on Arizona’s Scenic route 82 between Sonoita and Nogales, approximately one hour from Tucson and three hours from Phoenix.
