Oro Valley Fall Foodie, Art & Wine Festival

October 25 & 26, 2025​

The Oro Valley Fall Foodie, Art & Wine Festival is more than a seasonal celebration—it’s a vibrant showcase of artistry, culinary talent, and community connection. Presented by Art State Arizona, this two-day outdoor event directly supports the livelihoods of regional artists, makers, and small creative businesses while offering attendees an unforgettable fall experience.
The festival features up to 135 artisans from across the Southwest, working in mediums that span fashion, home goods, painting, sculpture, metalwork, woodworking, and more. Every purchase made at the festival helps sustain independent artists, strengthen the creative economy, and keep the arts alive in our communities.
Guests can immerse themselves in autumn-themed art activities designed for all ages, from hands-on pumpkin painting to fall-inspired craft stations. Live music from strolling performers fills the air, creating the perfect soundtrack to explore, shop, and connect.
Culinary experiences take center stage with up to 20 food vendors and purveyors curated by Tucson Foodie, offering flavors that reflect the region’s diverse heritage. Local wines, presented in partnership with Arizona Winery Tours, invite guests to sip, savor, and celebrate Arizona’s growing wine culture.
The festival also offers live art demonstrations, giving visitors the rare opportunity to witness the creative process in action. Seasonal fun abounds with family photo spots, a breathtaking 20-foot pumpkin centerpiece, trick-or-treating, and costume contests for all ages.
Located at the heart of Oro Valley, the open-air Oro Valley Marketplace provides the perfect backdrop, with easy access, ample parking, and a lively atmosphere where art, food, and fall traditions converge.
