Experience the Unbelievable

The Arizona borderlands are filled with remarkable stories that are stranger than fiction—stories of innovation, resilience, conflict, culture, and community that deserve to be shared.

Join us October 16–18, 2026, at historic Camp Naco for the inaugural Unbelievable Borderlands Festival, a weekend of engaging presentations, demonstrations, exhibits, music, and conversations exploring the fascinating history and cultures of the borderlands.

Friday Evening Benefit Dinner

Kick off the weekend on Friday, October 16, with a special fundraising evening featuring guest speakers, live music, and a curated borderlands culinary journey. Proceeds from the Benefit Dinner directly support the preservation of Camp Naco and Naco Heritage Alliance's educational programming.

Saturday Festival

Thanks to the generosity of our festival sponsors, admission to the Saturday festival is free. Your registration includes access to festival presentations, exhibits, demonstrations, and activities throughout the day.

While registration is free, donations are always appreciated and help us preserve Camp Naco, expand educational programming, and keep community events like this accessible for everyone.
