Tempe Festival of the Arts - Spring

Join us for the 47th Annual Tempe Festival of the Arts, March 8-10, 2024 in Downtown Tempe. The festival is among the oldest and best loved traditions in the Desert Southwest. In a normal year, more than 200,000 visitors enjoy the festival and approximately 350 artists participate from throughout North American. The Festival occurs in a festive urban street fair atmosphere.

This juried show promotes original art with all artists on site to engage visitors. The festival takes advantage of the "snowbird" high tourism season in Arizona. More than a quarter of the Festival's visitors come from outside Phoenix and outside Arizona to shop for one of a kind gifts. March in Arizona is also Spring Training, so visitors are quite prevalent.
