The Holland Center Presents 3rd Annual Navajo Rug & Jewelry Show & Sale

Over the weekend of February 21-23, 2025, the Holland Center will proudly present the Adopt-A-Native-Elder Program’s 3rd Annual Scottsdale Navajo Rug & Jewelry Show & Sale. The event will feature 300 traditional handwoven Navajo rugs created by 70 weavers, along with jewelry and crafts for sale, weaving demonstrations, cultural teachings and a raffle of one of the rugs. Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase one-of-a-kind items while gaining a deeper understanding of Native culture. The weekend will begin with a VIP preview and sale on Friday, Feb. 21 from 5-8 p.m., allowing attendees an early chance to view and purchase rugs and other handcrafted items before the show opens to the public. On Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 22-23, the show will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day; admission is free. The weavers are able to set their own prices and receive 100% of the proceeds from their sales.

In addition to offering a preview of the items available at the show, the VIP event on Friday evening will feature talks by weavers about the rugs they’ve created, Native music, hors d’oeuvres and beverages. Tickets are $50 at the door or online at https://hollandcenter.org; the entrance fee includes a raffle ticket for a chance to win a handwoven rug.

The Holland Center is excited to continue its partnership with the Adopt-A-Native-Elder Program. Last year’s show welcomed 1,700 attendees, representing additional growth over the inaugural show in 2023. These events – the first of their kind in Scottsdale – have rivaled the total sales of some of the program’s most successful shows in other states.
