September starts to back off the triple-digit temperatures, and outdoor events start to pop up. Even some Halloween events and harvest festivals make their appearance in September. Check out Halloween Central! Thankfully, the warm weather doesn't stop the summer bands from including Phoenix on their tour schedules.
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.
