The 36th Annual Fiesta del Tlaquepaque in Sedona is on for Saturday, Sept. 12.
A brief but furious thunderstorm flooded the Arts and Crafts Village, sending water and mud surging through the Mexican-style plaza on Thursday, Sept. 10.
However, massive clean-up efforts were already well under way early Friday morning and Wib Middleton, media liaison for the operation, said all systems were go for the following day.
“There may be some changes in venue for the various entertainers, but we intend to proceed as planned,” Middleton said. “Everyone is busy powerwashing and cleaning their area and a lot of progress has already been made.”
The most important thing visitors can do to help is to park at the Uptown Municipal Parking Lot at the corner of Jordan Rd. and Apple St. then ride the free RoadRunner shuttle to Tlaquepaque. Shuttle service will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission to the Fiesta is also free and will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
