Festival of Lights at Tlaquepaque
Thousands of luminarias light up Tlaquepaque for one evening each December.
The Festival of Lights is one of Sedona's oldest holiday traditions. Thousands of luminarias line Tlaquepaque's courtyards, and they're lit at dusk with the ringing of the bell tower.
In recent years it has been held on a Saturday in mid-December (December 13 in 2025). We haven't found the confirmed 2026 date yet, so check Visit Sedona before you plan around it.
