February is high season in the desert Southwest, and it a very busy month for art festivals, sporting events and other indoor and outdoor activities. You don't have to worry much about snow ruining your plans!
These are many of the community events that you can count on year in and year out. All dates, prices, and activities mentioned are subject to change without notice. Check the website or call to confirm information, because they don't always let me know when there are changes. Activities in this event calendar are appropriate for families unless otherwise indicated. If the event is free, I'll mention that, too.
Looking for big name concerts, shows or theatre? Check this calendar for February performances.
