Love Fine Arts and Crafts? This Weekend in the Phoenix Area Is Ideal for Shopping and Enjoying the Sunshine!

Spending the day perusing the art and creative crafts in Fountain Hills, Arizona is about as good as it gets. Each November the Fountain Hills Chamber of Commerce hosts the Fountain Hills Festival of Arts and Crafts. The event features nearly 500 artists and artisans from around the country lining the shaded Avenue of the Fountains. With views of the beautiful Superstition Mountains, this festival is a fantastic destination for the day.

Also this weekend enjoy the Heard Museum Spanish Market. In November the Heard Museum’s Spanish Market celebrates the tradition, faith and artistry of Hispanic culture. The Phoenix valley’s only Spanish Market features nearly 70 of today’s top Arizona and New Mexico artists.

Both festivals continue through Sunday. And did I mention the weather is glorious?
