Scottsdale Events and Festivals

(Scottsdale, Arizona - AZ, USA)



Scottsdale is known for being the 'West's most westerly town' and it is certainly extremely proud of its extensive Western heritage and related festivals.

Each February, the Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show proves to be one of the city's biggest annual events, being staged for the first time in the 1950s and now drawing many thousands to the city. Also held at this time of the year and of a similar age is the popular Scottsdale Jaycees Parada del Sol, which boasts the lengthiest horse-drawn procession in existence, anywhere on the planet.

If you are visiting during the extremely sunny and hot month of July, then the Mighty Mud Mania will provide a rather unusual way to cool down, with its mud-wallowing activities taking place at Chaparral Park on North Hayden Road. And once you've finished playing in the mud, rest assured that there is a very simple way to get cleaned up - courtesy of the local firefighters and their hose pipes. When the weather begins to cool down and autumn makes itself known, the Annual Fall Festival ranks amongst the principal things to do, with its pumpkin carving competitions and Halloween-themed ghostly goings-on.
