About the Event

Join us, in partnership with Arizona State University, Scottsdale Unified School District, the city of Scottsdale, and the SkySong development team for the debut of Scottsdale Family ArtsFest at SkySong, a free, two-day festival of creativity that includes performances, interactive demonstrations, creative interventions, and culinary delights from local food trucks throughout the SkySong campus in southern Scottsdale. 

Over the course of the event, attendees will experience performances and art exhibitions delivered by Scottsdale Unified School District students, family-friendly arts activities presented by Scottsdale Arts Learning & Innovation, and interactive demonstrations from city of Scottsdale departments. 

The event starts on Friday, March 24, from 4 to 6 p.m., and continues Saturday, March 25, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

There will be several different areas to explore: 

Center Stage will feature performances by SUSD bands, choirs, and orchestras. This area will also include hands-on, artist-led activities from Scottsdale Arts, including puppetry, painting, and souvenir tote bags.  

Art exhibitions from elementary, middle, and high school students will be exhibited throughout the SkySong campus. A highlight includes bowls created by SUSD students that will be available for sale to support families facing food insecurity in Scottsdale.   

The Café Stage will present smaller ensemble performances, interactive experiences from city of Scottsdale departments, and light refreshments.
