Description

Head in the Clouds Gala

Saturday | November 14th, 2026 | The HUB

Join the Sedona Chamber of Commerce Foundation for the inaugural Head in the Clouds Gala, an evening celebrating community, creativity and the possibilities ahead for Sedona and the Verde Valley.

The evening begins with Golden Hour, presented by Northern Lights Balloon Expeditions, on the patio at sunset overlooking Sedona’s red rocks. Raise a glass with an included champagne toast, enjoy charcuterie, and take in the view before heading inside, where your pre-selected flight of local Arizona red wine, white wine or beer will be waiting at your table to continue the Head in the Clouds experience.

Inside, guests will experience the Art Preview & Silent Auction, bringing together local student and professional artists in a shared exhibition celebrating creativity across generations. Messina Culinary will present an elevated dining experience, while Sky City Productions transforms The HUB through lighting and production, kicking off the evening’s entertainment with a ribbon cutting celebrating their arrival in the Sedona business community.

Guests can also bid on a collection of donated unique experiences, getaways, local favorites and more in our Gala Auction. Bidding will open online ahead of the event, giving everyone a chance to get an early start, before continuing as a silent auction throughout the Gala.  

Then it’s time to dance under the illuminated clouds with Backdoor Funk, a five-piece band from Phoenix bringing a live jukebox experience presented to you by The Joy. Guests can request and dedicate their favorite cover songs throughout the night. Between songs, relive prom night with photos against our dreamy cloud backdrop, captured by professional photographer LJ of P3 Media. Guests can even order their own prom photo package to be delivered after the Gala, indulge in one-of-the-kind organic gourmet cotton candy from Cottontails Cottoncandy, and discover more surprises throughout the evening.

From sunset over the red rocks to dancing beneath LED-lit clouds, Head in the Clouds is designed to be a gala you experience, not just attend.

Proceeds from the Gala will benefit the Sedona Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Red Rock Recovery Fund, providing critical support for local businesses and employees impacted by recent flooding, while also advancing the Foundation’s broader mission of supporting economic development, workforce development, and arts and culture throughout our community.
