Carefree Indian Market and Cultural Festival

Award-winning Native American art, music and dance are coming to downtown Carefree Arizona as Magic Bird Festivals presents the Carefree Indian Market and Cultural Festival.

The three-day Indian cultural festival takes place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Feb. 17–19, at Carefree Desert Gardens, 101 Easy St. in downtown Carefree. Live performances are slated at 11 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. daily.

Set amid the town’s new four-acre, cactus-filled botanical gardens and adjacent to the town’s famous Carefree Sundial, the first-ever cultural festival will feature live hoop dancing and musical performances, along with Native American arts and crafts made by tribal member artisans from throughout the country.

“We are honored to present the first Indian cultural event in downtown Carefree. We feel privileged that such talented and world-renowned Indian artists have agreed to participate in this first-of-a-kind event for the town. The serenity of the new botanical gardens and the beautiful backdrop of Black Mountain create a special environment of intimacy that we believe the artists and attendees will cherish,” said Roberta Toombs Rechlin, president of Magic Bird Festivals.

Carefree Mayor David Schwan agrees. “Our new cactus gardens are the perfect setting for this type of authentic cultural event, recognizing the diverse people that make Arizona great,” said Schwan.

Admission to this event is free.
