Art on the Lake Festival (Sahuarita Lake Park) January 10, 2026

January 10th, 2026
Sahuarita Lake Park
Get ready for a day where art and community come alive on the water. The Sahuarita Art on the Lake Festival returns for its third year, transforming the stunning Sahuarita Lake Park into a cultural playground where imagination, music, and creativity flow as seamlessly as the water itself.
This year’s event expands its artistic reach, offering more immersive experiences than ever before. Along the park’s tree-lined pathways, 25 hand-selected artisan booths will showcase original works in painting, sculpture, jewelry, ceramics, and beyond—each piece as unique as the artist who created it. Intimate by design, the festival gives visitors the rare chance to meet makers face-to-face, hear their stories, and bring home art that carries the soul of the Southwest.
The lake itself becomes a stage: floating art installations shimmer across the water, blending nature with artistic expression in breathtaking new ways. On land, the energy continues with live street painting, interactive art zones, and a community chalk mural competition where participants of all ages can leave their creative mark.
Adding to the festival’s global flair, cultural performances will bring rhythm, movement, and tradition to life. From the thundering beats of mariachi and the vibrancy of folklórico dancers to the iconic spectacle of a Chinese lion dance, the day celebrates artistic expression in every form. Food trucks and live music add flavor and atmosphere, ensuring every corner of the park hums with discovery and delight.
By joining us, you’re not only experiencing art—you’re investing in local artists, uplifting Sahuarita’s creative economy, and building cultural connections that strengthen community identity. This is more than a festival—it’s a movement of creativity, culture, and shared celebration on the lake.
