Welcome to the 4th Annual Mesquite Weekend event!
Mesquite Weekend is all about learning how to use, eat, grow, and promote the three native Arizona Mesquite trees: Screwbean, Honey, and Velvet as part of a more sustainable life. On top of our usual permaculture offerings, this year is special because it’s the 100th year of Route 66! Mesquite Weekend is offering a postcard in the traditional route 66 style with “Greetings from Mesquite Weekend” written on it. We are ready to celebrate.
To that end, SUNDAY, March 22nd will have workshops, food demonstrations, vendors, and opportunities to meet and hang out with like-minded folks.
Come on out to Golden Valley, Arizona (a hamlet nestled between Kingman and Bullhead City), on American’s Main Street, to taste mesquite in it’s many forms, meet other people interested in permaculture, homesteading, natural living, and of course, the three awesome native Arizona Mesquite trees, and enjoy a slow weekend in a small town right off of historic Route 66.
Bear with us as we update the website for the 2026 event.
See you soon!
