Welcome to the Arivaca Dancehall!

Our calendar is filled with a wide variety of live music performances, dance classes, art exhibitions, films, storytelling events, environmental education programs, and more.
Check out all the details at our Upcoming Events page, and follow us on Facebook for frequent updates, as well as photos and videos of our events. Also, check out this YouTube video for an interview with us about our inspiration for creating this community space! For info on booking the dancehall for your own event, visit our Rent the Dancehall page.

The mission of the Arivaca Dancehall is to preserve 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. Therefore, all our events are free!

Why FREE? We believe that exposure 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 us keep the dancehall going strong? We have a donation jar out at each of our events, and we welcome any amount you'd like to give to help us 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!
