Native American Arts Fair

Saturday November 18, 2023, 9am-2pm
At Mission Garden–throughout the garden
This event is free. All monetary gifts are appreciated. Your gifts help the garden grow.

Every year Mission Garden hosts Native American artists who exhibit and sell their products. They are of many tribal affiliations, including Tohono O'odham, Yaqui, Hopi, Navajo and Apache, and they work in a wide variety of media. These include ceramics, basketry, jewelry, gourd decorations, carvings, beadwork, clothing, paintings, and more.

Some artists will be demonstrating their crafts at their booths. This is one of the Mission Garden’s biggest and most colorful events of the year.

The garden opens at 8am with the Fair starting at 9am (some vendors come from great distances and need time to set up). This is a great opportunity to see the work of some of the finest Native American artists working today!

You will also be seeing the lovely Mission Garden with its winter-spring crops starting to grow. This includes white Sonora wheat and many leafy vegetables, root crops, favas, and garbanzo beans.

The Garden Shop will be open as well, selling a variety of books, shirts, packaged heritage foods, and many other gift items.

There will also be food vendors, so you can pick up some lunch while you are here!

Additional Parking and Shuttle:
Our normal parking areas will be available for this event. In addition, there will be more parking available at the Ramada Inn by Wyndham, at 777 W Cushing Street (about 1/2 mile from the garden). Starting at 9am shuttle vans will depart the hotel at frequent intervals bringing passengers to the garden's entrance path, and will ferry passengers back to the hotel. The shuttle is free of charge.
