Sedona: Sunday has the lowest Booked Occupancy (Oct 26–Nov 1, 2026)

A Day of the Dead celebration puts Sunday, Nov 1, on Sedona, Arizona’s calendar. Should that occasion make Sunday night the focus for Hosts & Operators, or does the citywide market view point elsewhere?

Sunday has the lowest citywide Booked Occupancy in Sedona for October 26, 2026–November 1, 2026. Wheelhouse data as of October 25, 2026 shows Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 20.5% Booked Occupancy, versus the week’s highest, 25.8%, on Friday, October 30, 2026. Sunday has more time remaining until arrival than Friday.

Wheelhouse data shows Sunday has the same Asking Rate as Thursday despite lower Booked Occupancy.

Tlaquepaque schedules its Day of the Dead celebration on November 1, 2026, within the analyzed stay window of October 26, 2026–November 1, 2026. The event gives Sunday a concrete calendar connection, yet Sunday night ranks last in citywide Booked Occupancy in this observation.

The celebration is a reason to examine Sunday specifically, rather than assume the whole weekend follows the same pattern. Its scheduled date alone does not explain the difference from Friday; the weekday itself could explain that contrast.

The price comparison adds a useful wrinkle. Sunday, Nov 1, and Thursday, Oct 29, both have an Asking Rate of $398, while their Booked Occupancy readings are 20.5% and 23.7%, respectively.

Sunday’s lowest Booked Occupancy therefore does not coincide with the week’s lowest Asking Rate. Nor does its verified celebration coincide with the highest: Saturday, Oct 31, has the highest Asking Rate at $459. For operators, the distinction matters because the calendar occasion and the citywide price ranking offer different signals about which night merits attention.

Use Wheelhouse Performance Analytics to examine bookings for Sunday, Nov 1, against past Sundays checked the same number of days before arrival, with the same nights open for booking. If your Sunday bookings also trail those matched Sundays, keep Sunday as the focus for investigation; if they match or exceed them, the citywide low alone should not redirect your attention.
