Though Sedona's temperature remains warm and comfortable throughout November, once autumn arrives it suddenly feels like the Vermont countryside with crisp and cool evenings and the temperature drops 40 degrees from midday to night. Bring a sweater for these beautiful evenings enjoyed among the aromas of the juniper wood burning fireplaces.

September

October
The Sedona Arts Center's Plein Air Festival presented by L'Auberge de Sedona from October 19-26, 2008 features many of the country's plein air artists who will be outdoors painting Sedona landscapes all week long. The highlight of the event is the artists' "Paint Out" which takes place on the grounds of L'Auberge on Saturday, October 27. This two hour painting exhibition allows guests to meet the artists and watch them create original works of art. The event reaches a crescendo that evening at the Art Patron's Gala held in the Monet Ballroom at L'Auberge de Sedona. Guests will have the opportunity to purchase tickets to the Patrons Gala Reception and to preview and purchase "still wet" and framed paintings from these modern masters. See www.sedonapleinairfestival.com for a preview of the artists and ticket information.
