Just like that we are already over half way through the year with another several months of 2024 remaining. Do not let any more time pass by without booking your next trip to Sedona. We are the jewel of Arizona featuring outdoor activities, lively events, and cooler temps than what Central Arizona is used to. One of the best times to visit Sedona is over the Labor Day Weekend. The holiday typically gives both adults and children an extended weekend from school and work making it a great time to travel. Sedona has plenty to see and do over this weekend as well. Take a look at how to spend your 2024 Labor Day in Sedona:
Labor Day Concert
There is nothing better during the summer season than a little live music to get you by. When you visit Sedona over the summer you will find the summer Creekside concert series over at L’Auberge de Sedona. They will cap off this summer long event with their annual Labor Day Concert that takes place on Saturday August 31st. In years past the Labor Day Concert features local bands to take the stage from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM for three hours full of lovely live music. The live music will be paired perfectly with cocktails and seasonal bites to ensure you have a delightful experience. This year’s lineup for the Labor Day Concert is not yet available so keep your eyes peeled for additional information to become available. Tickets start at $50 per person for the Labor Day Concert over at L’Auberge de Sedona.
Take on a Verde Adventure
You can always get out and see Sedona for yourself but with so much to do you may end up missing a few things. Another great way to see what Sedona has to offer is by taking a Verde Adventure with the pros over at Sedona Adventure Tours. This is the #1 rated company to take you out on the Verde River right here in the area. They offer quite a few different ways to explore the Verde River including by inflatable kayak, paddle board, or river tube. Their water to wine tour allows you to navigate the river before heading off to a winery for a little tasting flight. Sedona Adventure Tours is also known for quite a bit more too including all of their winery tour options. This also includes a bike or e-bike tour that combines with a winery tour. Or check out the paddle board to yoga that lets you explore while having a chance to unwind afterwards. Don’t miss out on these great opportunities you have in Sedona!
Hike the Red Rock State Park
You will find some of the most stunning natural scenery in the entire state of Arizona here locally at the Red Rock State Park. Stop by the visitor center first where you can explore the interpretive area or movie theater to learn all about the area. The gift shop has plenty of incredible gifts to purchase to commemorate your journey with. When you venture into the park you will find a 5 mile trail network that will connect you to the different viewing areas. Make your way up to Eagle’s Nest for the highest point in the park. The trails are family oriented and will make sure everyone has a blast with it. Mountain biking is available on certain marked trails making them easy to find. You can also book a horseback riding journey with a local stable to explore the equestrian trails too.
Enjoy the Wineries
A well known secret up here in Sedona is that we are the wine country of Arizona. You will find dozens of local vineyards and tasting rooms that are able to enjoy a tasting fight or glass of wine from. You simply cannot beat being able to sip on your choice of wine as you have the Red Rock mountains out in the backdrop for the perfect scenery. Winery tours are available at most of the vineyards letting you get a close look at behind the scenes. Of course visiting multiple wineries in a day is not possible when you are driving. Let someone else take the wheel when you book a tour with AZ Wine Wagon. This winery shuttle service will take you around Sedona so you don’t have to find a designated driver. Single seat and full bus rentals are available letting you figure out what you need!
