- Akasha Center of Light offers original paintings by the resident artist and unique Christmas decorations.
- Cascabel Clayworks – a cottage industry and homestead established in 1970, will host an open house.
Joining them will be many other fine artisans displaying their work in fiber, metal, wood, jewelry, clay, leather, photography and more. You will enjoy touring the wide variety of locally made products and fresh farm produce displayed under the mesquite canopy.

Cascabel is located along the banks of the beautiful San Pedro River about an hour and a half drive from Tucson. Take I-10 through Benson to exit 306. Head north through Pomerene. Follow the signs for 20 more miles on a scenic country road. The last five miles are unpaved, so take it easy and enjoy the scenery.
Click here to see the location on a map and to get directions. Handicap parking is available.
Please remember, rural Arizona still has gravel roads. You’ll be travelling five miles beyond the pavement. Take your time, keep the dust down, and enjoy the scenery. We look forward to seeing you and sharing some traditional rural neighborhood fun.
