Sidewalk cafes pair stellar views and scrumptious meals while the aromas of fresh baked waffle cones, Sedona fudge and southwestern fare tantalize your taste buds everywhere you go. Glimmering bronze statues, fine art, and bubbling fountains line the streets bringing art and fun together in one.

Take a stagecoach ride through history with the Hands Through History bronzes commemorating the Cowboys Artists of America. These old-timers began their journey right here in Uptown at a table in the back of the old Cowboy Club. Want to learn more about the history of Sedona? Head down Jordan Road to the Sedona Historical Museum at Jordan Historical Park.

At the end of Uptown Sedona, you’ll see the Sedona Arts Center on the right. The Sedona Arts Center is a historical landmark in Sedona. In 1958 Nassan Gobran and a group of local visionaries originally purchased the old Jordan Apple and Peach Packing barn and turned it into the “Art Barn,” a place for local artists to congregate and share their artistic dreams. The old barn still stands here today and has since continued to be a community-centered school and gallery where artists can learn from each other and exhibit their works for all to enjoy in the Members Art Gallery.

Throughout the year many festivals and parades take place in Uptown both on the main street and on neighboring Jordan Rd. including the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in March, the National Day of the Cowboy in July, the Uptown Moonlight Madness Street Fair every Labor Day Weekend, the “Paint Out” on Main Street in October, a safe annual Halloween Trick-or-Treat in October and the annual Holiday Tree Lighting & Santa Visit in December.

Uptown Sedona is the perfect blend of history, modern fun, activities and tasty treats for everyone.
