The Arizona Fall Fest
The Arizona Fall Fest is a free and family-friendly celebration of everything local to Arizona. The festival features food from many of Arizona’s finest restaurants, a beer & wine garden, booths for local merchants and live entertainment.
Formerly known as the Certified Local Fall Festival, the Arizona Fall Fest will have even MORE Arizona flavor and fun this year. Show your Arizona pride and join your community for this annual festival.
Bring your reusable water bottles to use at refill stations, ride the light rail to the event (you'll get a free food sample ticket when you show your pass), donate $1 to get a reusable wine glass in the Beer & Wine Garden and use the eco-stations where you can compost & recycle. Let’s make this festival the most sustainable one to date!
