One of the most eclectic and awe-inspiring festivals Arizona has to offer is the annual Grand Canyon Music Festival. This gathering, funded by the Arizona Commission on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts, features a broad range of world-renowned artists offering classical performances, outreach, and education programs to benefit rural and underprivileged Arizona communities.
