This December, the Center for the Arts at Kayenta invites you to step inside an enchanted world. With fire pits ablaze, trees shimmering with lights, and the air filled with aromas and sounds, Kayenta will be transformed from a desert paradise into a magical wonderland Dec. 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, and 22.

Inside storefront windows along the plaza, young actors come alive as mechanical dolls dressed in traditional costumes representing countries from around the world. Young and old alike will be swept into a joyous mood by these captivating displays. Young visitors might be surprised by Santa, who’s making time to pay Kayenta a visit. The smells and sights of the season are sure to lift everyone’s spirits!
The magic will continues inside as guests take their seats in the Lorraine Boccardo Black Box Theatre for A Diamond Holiday, a festive and captivating dance and musical theater concert.
