The 16th Annual Festival of the Arts was held on November 15, 2025. Our two outdoor stages showcased 30+ performances in music, dance, and theater, featuring valley favorites like Ballet Folklorico Quetzalli-AZ, Phoenix World Collective, vocalist Lisa Hightower, The Zoniez, Fushicho Daiko Dojo, and Phoenix Youth Circus Arts.
“As someone who cares deeply about this community, this festival is close to my heart. It’s more than a fun day of creativity—it’s how we build a stronger, more connected Phoenix. We bring talent from every corner of the Valley into a free, welcoming space where everyone can experience high-quality art and live performances without barriers. It gives local artists, vendors, and youth groups a vital platform, supports downtown businesses, and creates memories that last.” - Cescily Wiener, Director of Community Engagement
