Wine & Art Festival in Carefree
Saturday, November 7th, 2026, 10am to 5pm at Carefree Easy Street
For 32 wonderful years, we at Thunderbird Artists have proudly produced the Fall Carefree Fine Art & Wine Festival as one of Arizona’s most anticipated fine art events — a true “Collector’s Paradise™” where exceptional artists connect with enthusiastic collectors in the heart of Carefree.
This year, we’re making an exciting evolution to keep delivering the highest-quality experience for our artists and our patrons. In response to the Town of Carefree’s request to limit street closures to just two per year, we’ve chosen to move the Fall festival to the stunning Carefree Gardens — while keeping our popular Winter and Spring street festivals unchanged in downtown Carefree.
The Carefree Desert Gardens is Carefree’s crown jewel — a lush, 4-acre desert oasis filled with rare and fascinating plant specimens from around the world, graceful water features, fountains, and the iconic 62-foot Carefree Sundial. With existing sculptures and artistic installations already woven throughout the gardens, it offers a naturally elegant, gallery-like atmosphere that beautifully complements fine art. From petite pieces to monumental installations, there’s something for every art lover: eye-catching bronzes, dynamic metal and stone sculptures, luminous glass, intricate woodwork, and bold mixed media creations. You’ll find stunning pottery, captivating photography, handcrafted jewelry, batiks, and distinguished fine crafts. The lineup of paintings is impressive—oils, acrylics, pastels, watercolors, charcoal, etchings, and fresh mixed media, spanning every style from classic Southwest and wildlife to vibrant contemporary abstracts.

AZ Gold Mining Experience
Saturday, November 14th, 2026, 10am to 11:30am at Cave Creek Museum
Due to the popularity of The AZ GOLD MINING EXPERIENCE™, tickets must be pre-purchased. No Membership Discounts. Culture Passes will not be accepted for this event
BUY YOUR TICKET! This event normally sells out fast. https://cavecreekmuseum.org/events/list/
Museum opens at 9:00 am for event check-in; the ARIZONA GOLD MINING EXPERIENCE™ begins at 10:00 am.
The Cave Creek Museum’s AZ GOLD MINING EXPERIENCE™ is unique with its display of the complete hard rock ore extraction process, with the mine shaft, tramway, ore carts, crushing and extraction, that are always on display, but operated on 2nd Saturdays. The highlight is Arizona’s only fully operational ten-stamp ore crushing mill. The ten 1,000-lb stamps slam down in synchronized motion to pound the ore removed from the mine into a fine gravel. The stamp mill was brought from its former location at the Golden Reef Mine on Continental Mountain to where it sits today. This is the only operational mining stamp mill in Arizona today that sits only 5 miles from its original site on the mountain.
The program begins with a lively recounting of Cave Creek Mining District’s heyday, followed by a visit to the arrastre, a primitive apparatus that pulverized ore with the power of beast or man. Hold onto your hats when the old mine blows its top! Then onto the Golden Reef Stamp Mill and Tramway, where our highly trained and dedicated “Dream Team” fires up the engines of the stamp mill and once again the mountainsides echo with the crashing beat of the mechanical crusher. Watch as the tramway carries ore to be pulverized!
Then onto the Blacksmith Shop for a demonstration of skill that was highly valued in a time where parts and tools had to be fabricated on site. Next be sure to try your luck at our Gold-panning station, where docents will show you how to pan for ore and minerals just like the old prospectors did. Maybe you’ll strike gold!
Remember, your admission ($15 for guests 13 yrs and up, children 12 yrs and under are free**) is also good for a leisurely tour of the Museum’s Historical and Archaeology collections and be sure to visit our other Outdoor Exhibits: the collection of many other articles from Cave Creek’s mining and agricultural past, the Historic First Church, and our TB Cabin, which is on the National Register of Historic Places as the onlyknown existing tubercular cabin from that era.
Get ready to travel back in Time! Note: this program is approximately 1 hr and 15 minutes long and largely takes place in the Outside Exhibit Area. It is not ADA compliant. Footing is uneven and slightly hilly in places. Please dress appropriately for the weather and wear sunscreen!
**Due to the popularity of The AZ GOLD MINING EXPERIENCE™, tickets must be pre-purchased. No Membership Discounts. Culture Passes will not be accepted for this event.

AZ Gold Mining Experience
Saturday, November 28th, 2026, 10am to 11:30am at Cave Creek Museum
Due to the popularity of The AZ GOLD MINING EXPERIENCE™, tickets must be pre-purchased. No Membership Discounts. Culture Passes will not be accepted for this event
BUY YOUR TICKET! This event normally sells out fast. https://cavecreekmuseum.org/events/list/
Museum opens at 9:00 am for event check-in; the ARIZONA GOLD MINING EXPERIENCE™ begins at 10:00 am. The Cave Creek Museum’s AZ GOLD MINING EXPERIENCE™ is unique with its display of the complete hard rock ore extraction process, with the mine shaft, tramway, ore carts, crushing and extraction, that are always on display, but operated on 2nd Saturdays. The highlight is Arizona’s only fully operational ten-stamp ore crushing mill. The ten 1,000-lb stamps slam down in synchronized motion to pound the ore removed from the mine into a fine gravel. The stamp mill was brought from its former location at the Golden Reef Mine on Continental Mountain to where it sits today. This is the only operational mining stamp mill in Arizona today that sits only 5 miles from its original site on the mountain. The program begins with a lively recounting of Cave Creek Mining District’s heyday, followed by a visit to the arrastre, a primitive apparatus that pulverized ore with the power of beast or man. Hold onto your hats when the old mine blows its top! Then onto the Golden Reef Stamp Mill and Tramway, where our highly trained and dedicated “Dream Team” fires up the engines of the stamp mill and once again the mountainsides echo with the crashing beat of the mechanical crusher. Watch as the tramway carries ore to be pulverized! Then onto the Blacksmith Shop for a demonstration of skill that was highly valued in a time where parts and tools had to be fabricated on site. Next be sure to try your luck at our Gold-panning station, where docents will show you how to pan for ore and minerals just like the old prospectors did. Maybe you’ll strike gold! Remember, your admission ($15 for guests 13 yrs and up, children 12 yrs and under are free**) is also good for a leisurely tour of the Museum’s Historical and Archaeology collections and be sure to visit our other Outdoor Exhibits: the collection of many other articles from Cave Creek’s mining and agricultural past, the Historic First Church, and our TB Cabin, which is on the National Register of Historic Places as the onlyknown existing tubercular cabin from that era.
