Music on the Patio de las Campanas May 1


Susannah Martin & Bob Murnahan will perform in the Patio de las Campanas on Friday, May 1 from 4-7pm. This event will entertain our visitors and shoppers on First Friday and we are planning to see a large turnout for this event.

Oak Creek Bridge on SR 179


Oak Creek Bridge - Scheduled to arrive beginning this Monday, April 27, 33 box girders (concrete bridge spans) will be delivered over the course of the week. Eight to 12 over-sized trucks, each carrying one girder, will arrive in Sedona each morning, starting about 6 a.m. from Phoenix, via I-17 to SR 260 to SR 89A to SR 179. The trucks will be temporarily parked on SR 89A in a staging area just south of Brewer Road, as they wait for the girders to be put into place one at a time. Traffic will be shifted on SR 89A as it approaches the Brewer roundabout while still keeping two lanes of traffic on SR 89A open in both directions except when girders are moved from staging area. During the placement of the girders on the bridge, two-way traffic on the bridge will be maintained. Flaggers will be present to let the trucks carrying the girders in and out and to maintain traffic flow on SR 179. The area will be congested so please allow for extra time to pass through SR 179.Night Work and Lane Closures.


Night work is ongoing from Morgan Wash to Canyon Drive from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Sunday – Thursday nights for the next week to place a 16-inch water line. Traffic will be reduced to one lane and flaggers will be present. This work will include a rock saw, which creates a lot of noise. The work is being done at night to mitigate daytime traffic issues. ADOT and the contractor apologize in advance to the residents in the area and will do everything they can to minimize the duration of this nighttime activity.

Friday, May 1 - All Stores stay open until 7:00pm


Friday, May 1 will be the first Friday of the month and Tlaquepaque will have extended hours. Please remember to have your shops open until 7:00pm on this day.
We are witnessing more visitors and it is great when we have extended hours so they can enjoy Tlaquepaque in the evening hours. With three of our restaurants open until 9:00pm, many people enjoy shopping in the evenings.
Thank you for helping us support the First Friday events at Tlaquepaque.

Our First Concert was a Great Success!


Big Daddy & Dynamites were a great success on Sunday afternoon. Music rang through the Patio de las Campanas and throughout the Tlaquepaque Village. We saw an increase in shoppers and many of the shops had a great afternoon. We are so happy to have music playing in our village and appreciate all of those who helped make this happen. Now on to the Month of May for more great music at Tlaquepaque.

Tlaquepaque Toy Town to Open May 1


There is a lot of excitement in the A building with the news of our newest shop - Tlaquepaque Toy Town. Wendy and Max are opening this wonderful toy shop on May 1. Many tenants have noticed the colorful signs that have been installed at Suite A205. So many shoppers have already tried to shop there even thought the store is not yet open. This is a wonderful addition to our Tlaquepaque Village and a positive draw for all the stores on the 2nd floor in the A Building. Please wish Wendy and Max the best of luck and stop in and visit the shop after May 1.

Jill is on Dumpster Patrol


As we make every effort to help our environment and encourage our tenants to recycle all cardboard, paper, plastic, cans and glass, I find that I must sometimes be on Dumpster Patrol! Since we have so many shops, galleries and restaurants here, there are a large number of employees working at Tlaquepaque. Today we found 8 bags of paper in the dumpster along with a large amount of cardboard. Doing my environmental duty, I was able to remove the cardboard and paper from the dumpster and place the paper and cardboard in the recycling containers. These items will now be used again and will not be sitting in an Arizona landfill for 100+ years.


Please encourage your employees to put their waste in the correct containers. Tlaquepaque struggles to be more green on a daily basis and we depend on all the support from our owners, managers and employees. Do the right thing and Recycle!
