The Sahuarita Creative Arts Festival is the true essence of Creative Placemaking, cultivating the arts as an essential part of Sahuarita’s identity. The two-day festival can draw up to 65 artists in the first year, as well as attract musicians locally and nationally, engage family arts activities, food trucks, and cultural group experiences. The festival brings the community together, stimulates the local economy, enhances surrounding non-arts businesses, and provides opportunities for local artists to promote their work.
