Welcome to the Arivaca Dancehall!

For the past 3+ years, we have been hosting a wide variety of free live music performances, dance classes, art exhibitions, films, storytelling events, environmental education programs, and more.
For a list of all our upcoming events, check out our Upcoming Events page. For frequent updates, as well as photos and videos of past events, follow us on Facebook. For info on booking the dancehall for your own event, visit our Rent the Dancehall page. For an interview about our inspiration for creating this community space, click on this YouTube video!

The mission of the Arivaca Dancehall is to preserve and enhance this beautiful and historic property, and to use it to bring all forms of the arts and educational opportunities to the Arivaca region with no financial barrier for any attendees.

Why FREE? We believe that exposure to and participation in the arts is a basic human need, and adds to a full and happy life. As the costs for attending events of every kind have risen, they have become less accessible for many people, and we are passionate about increasing access for the community members of Arivaca and the surrounding areas!

Want to help support the dancehall? We have a donation jar out at each of our events, and we welcome any amount you'd like to give, which we use to help with our operating costs, such as performer fees, event supplies, utilities, insurance, maintenance, etc. For more information, contact us at ArivacaDancehall@gmail.com

We're also collecting info and stories about the dancehall property's history, and if you have anything to share, please contact us at ArivacaDancehall@gmail.com Thanks!
