Scottsdale Rug Show
The Scottsdale Navajo Rug & Jewelry Show February 19, 20, 21, 2027
Venue: The Holland Community Center in North Scottsdale, AZ
The Scottsdale Navajo Rug & Jewelry Show is a vibrant cultural bridge connecting the high desert of the Navajo Reservation to the heart of North Scottsdale. Hosted annually at The Holland Center, this event is more than a market—it is a lifeline for Navajo Elders.
The 2027 Experience: "Sacred Canyons"
This 5th annual event, held from February 19–21, 2027, is centered on the theme of the Sacred Canyons. The canyons are a living cathedral, spiritual sanctuary, and place of deep connection between the earth and the holy people in Navajo (Diné) culture. The weavers are busily creating absolutely stunning rugs for this event!
Exhibits: The show features over 300 handwoven rugs and intricate silver and beaded jewelry.
Live Demonstrations: Visitors can watch master weavers at their looms, witnessing a "living tradition" that has been passed down through generations.
Stories in Wool: Featured artists create masterworks that tell stories of nature and ceremony, using complex techniques like the raised outline.
