La Quinta Art Celebration Encore 2026: Tickets, Parking & Hotels

Dates, hours and the right ticket page

The fall Encore edition runs Thursday, November 12 through Sunday, November 15, 2026, with published hours of 10 a.m.–4 p.m. each day. The venue is La Quinta Civic Center Campus, 78495 Calle Tampico, La Quinta, CA 92253.

Start with the organizer's official tickets. At our October 15 check, the listed admission was $25 for one day or $30 for the multi-day pass covering all four days. Compare the current checkout total and ticket conditions before purchasing. If you expect to return for a second visit, the multi-day option is the one to compare.

The celebration is produced by SCOPE Events, LLC. Its contact page distinguishes it from the La Quinta Arts Foundation and La Quinta Arts Festival. Follow the celebration's own ticket page for this November event.

Getting to the Civic Center

Use the Civic Center address for arrival, rather than a generic Old Town or hotel pin. The organizer's getting-here page lists paid self-parking and valet options, plus free parking in the Village of La Quinta. Check the current parking instructions and posted charges before choosing your approach.

Free village parking does not reserve a space or guarantee that a particular route will suit your group. If access requirements matter, confirm drop-off and entry arrangements with the organizer before arrival. Leave room in the day for parking, entry and breaks around the outdoor campus.

Where to stay for an art weekend

For Old Town dining and a suite: Embassy Suites La Quinta is at 50-777 Santa Rosa Plaza, adjacent to Old Town according to Hilton. The hotel lists cooked-to-order breakfast and complimentary self-parking. Check the route to the Civic Center separately; the hotel is not the event venue.

For a resort-centered stay: La Quinta Resort & Club is at 49-499 Eisenhower Drive. Choose it when pools, dining and resort time are part of the plan. Include paid parking and the applicable resort charge when comparing the final room total.

For a kitchen and a longer visit: Homewood Suites La Quinta is on Washington Street near the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Its suite format is useful to compare, but this is a different part of La Quinta from Old Town and the Civic Center.

Our La Quinta hotel guide covers the broader choice. The Old Town hotel comparison is more useful when Main Street meals are the evening anchor. Compare room type, transport and the complete stay total for the same dates.

Add an Old Town meal or Sunday market

Use the Old Town La Quinta guide for a separate Main Street stop before or after the art visit. Browse the official dining directory and reserve a meal around the time you actually expect to leave the campus.

On Sundays from October through May, the market operator lists the La Quinta Certified Farmers' Market at 78-100 Main Street, 8 a.m.–1 p.m. A Sunday market stop can fit before the celebration opens at 10, provided you allow for the transfer. Check holiday and operating updates.

Is Art on Main Street the same event?

No. Art on Main Street is a separate free event in Old Town, with selected Saturdays rather than four consecutive days at the Civic Center. The city's 2026–27 art calendar lists its first fall dates as November 28 and December 12, 2026, from 9 a.m.–3 p.m.

For a trip around November 12–15, book for the Civic Center celebration. For a free Old Town art outing, match your visit to an Art on Main Street date. Our November planning guide also covers Pride and the balloon festival on other weekends.
