NATIVE features North American indigenous tribal artists, Arizona artisans and entertainers, including world-champion hoop-dancing performances by Moontee Sinquah accompanied by his sons Scott and Samson. The Sinquahs perform daily at 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
Visitors will also find an eclectic selection of more than 100 fine arts and crafts exhibitors along with local food vendors to keep shoppers from getting hungry. The show located at the corner of Avenue of the Fountains and Saguaro Boulevard is within walking distance of establishments with adult beverages.
Featured artists include fine jeweler Paz Ehecatl and painter Stephen McCullough of McCullough Fine Arts, a voting member of the Choctaw Indian Nation, who specializes in recreating petroglyphs from cliff walls of the Southwest onto canvas.
“Magic Bird Festivals loves showcasing the culture and storytelling of Native American artists and entertainers at NATIVE,” said Roberta Toombs-Rechlin, Magic Bird Festivals founder. “This special annual show joins the Southwest community together through local and regional artisans.
Located near the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, this outdoor show offers attendees spectacular views of the Mazatzal Range’s Four Peaks and the Fountain Hill’s signature fountain.
