Oro Valley Fine Art & Wine Festival 2026

The Oro Valley Fine Art & Wine Festival is a brand-new, juried event showcasing contemporary and traditional art, handcrafted works, boutique wineries, gourmet foods, and live music set against the backdrop of the Catalina and Tortolita Mountains. Taking place in Oro Valley—dubbed the "Upscale Tech Mecca" of Southern Arizona and ranked the safest and wealthiest city to retire in the U.S.—this event is designed to become a signature destination for art collectors, wine lovers, and cultural enthusiasts.

Held in James D. Kriegh Park, this open-air festival features more than 150 talented artists and master craftsmen from across the Southwest and beyond. Patrons can enjoy sampling premium selected wines from Arizona vineyards in a curated tasting experience while enjoying performances by acclaimed local and regional musicians.
