Phoenix Event Calendar February

Arizona Renaissance Festival

© Judy Hedding

In a large metropolitan area like Phoenix, you might expect that there is always something going on. That's correct, and February is one of our busiest months of the year! Phoenix, Peoria, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale and many other communities have recurring events of which they are proud.

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 web site or call to confirm information. The activities in this event calendar are appropriate for families unless otherwise indicated. If the event is free, I'll mention that, too.
