Litchfield Park Gathering 2026

The Litchfield Park Gathering is a celebration of indigenous arts and cultures held annually in Litchfield Park, Arizona, a small city just 30 minutes west of Phoenix. This year's festival will be held on January 10 and 11, 2026, open daily from 10am until 5pm. The festival is free and open to the public, providing an exciting opportunity for artists to sell their work to both collectors and consumers. Participating artists will showcase their unique talents and perspectives to the thousands of festival goers who visit Litchfield Park every January.

Accepted artists also have an opportunity to enter a juried art competition. This special onsite review process will be performed by an expert panel on Friday, January 9, the afternoon before the festival. Judging will take place at the Wigwam Resort, which is right across from the festival grounds. Winners will be notified when they retrieve their pieces that evening and will also be announced and showcased during the festival.

Artists participating in Litchfield Park's Native American Fine Arts Festival must be in compliance with the Indian Arts and Crafts Acts of 1990 and 2000 and must have proof of tribal affiliation. All art must be original creations handcrafted and exhibited by the artist. The festival is supported in part by the Arizona Commission on the Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and by tourism dollars received through the Arizona Office of Tourism. Booth fees range from $400 for a 10'x10' space to $600 for a 10'x20' space, with a $25 application fee.
