Where to Go Holiday Shopping

Known as the “Art and Soul of Sedona,” the Tlaquepaque Arts and Shopping Village is a must on any visit to Red Rock country. This gathering place and cultural center has been a Sedona landmark since the 1970s; visitors and local residents flock here all year long for the exceptional collection of galleries, shops, and dining establishments.

The Tlaquepaque Arts and Shopping Village is more than just a community hub on the banks of Oak Creek; it’s a beautiful mix of open-air space and historic buildings where nature and architecture blend. Stately Sycamore and Cottonwood trees provide a lovely backdrop and shade in the courtyard. Constructed initially as an artist’s community, you’re bound to encounter talented makers actively working on their crafts, from sculptures to paintings and everything in between.

It’s not too early to start planning a getaway to Sedona this winter for shopping, adventures, and relaxing before the madness of the holiday season sets in. First, you’ll want to secure your lodging, and our Sedona Bed and Breakfast, tucked in the shadow of the stunning Red Rocks, is, by far, one of the best places to stay. Not only will you have immaculate views and a cozy guest room, but you’ll be privy to the most welcoming and warm hospitality in Arizona and a beautiful breakfast each morning. Book your room today!
