Set your Sedona stay to song. Our region loves its music and offers a variety of festivals and venues where you can partake during your vacation with us. Here’s where to see live music in Sedona while you’re at the Arabella. 

Music Venues 

Full Moon Saloon 

Perfect for those who can’t help but belt out a tune or two themselves, there’s this neighborhood-favorite saloon. Join KJ “The Wizard” for karaoke and DJ’d music every Thursday through Sunday starting at 9 pm. Located in the Village of Oak Creek, Full Moon is open every day and offers drinks, food, and an outdoor patio area with a comfortable fireplace seating area.
