Every year, thousands of visitors flock to Arizona for this festival, the beautiful Arizona weather, and an opportunity to experience culture. Each year, charities are chosen during a distinct selection process. In 2016 the festival raised $50, 000 for UMOM New Day Centers and Phoenix Children’s hospital.
