# Sedona Reviews Pavilion RFI Responses

The City of Sedona received responses from seven organizations to its request for information on restoring and operating the closed Georgia Frontiere Performing Arts Pavilion as a concert venue. Issued May 27, 2026, and closed September 30, the RFI is market research only—not a solicitation, selection, or contract award. The City Council will consider the findings, with review tentatively scheduled for December 8, 2026, and may then decide whether to pursue a formal procurement such as an RFP.

- The RFI is intended to help the city assess feasibility, private-sector interest, operating options, and alignment with its goals for the Cultural Park.
- Organizations interested in a future opportunity should note that no formal competition or award has been announced; the Council’s decision will determine whether a subsequent solicitation proceeds.
- The potential scope combines restoration of a municipal performing-arts venue with third-party operation, making the city’s objectives and proposed operating approach central to any future response.
