Yuma Crossing Hertitage Area events for January 2011

The Yuma Crossing Heritage Area brings projects and programs to life for the Yuma community by conserving, enhancing and interpreting the natural and cultural resources of the community through collaboration and partnerships.

The Heritage Festivals are formerly part of Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area and is now part of the Yuma Visitors Bureau. The YVB has absorbed the operation and management of Heritage Festivals, which had previously been part of Yuma Crossing National Heritage Area (YCNHA). Both YVB and Heritage Festivals are funded in part by a two percent hospitality tax collected by the city of Yuma.
