There’s nothing better than springtime in the Valley of the Sun!  Spring events in Phoenix and the perfect weather come together for a beautiful season… before the onset of the long and hot summer days. 

Living here, it can be easy to forget all of the fun festivities that surround us.  We live where people vacation and travel to attend certain events that we may just let pass us by. So, in honor of our beautiful weather and the arrival of spring, here is a list of the best events and things you and your family can enjoy!
