Arizona is one of the hottest states in America, with temperatures going up to 120F in some areas. It’s no surprise then that people in Phoenix eagerly wait for Fall to commence, bringing with it cooler days and outdoor adventures they can actually enjoy without the heat beating down on them. Although the weather is still warm and pleasant, it doesn’t stop locals from getting into the spirit of Fall. Most houses are covered in outrageous Halloween decorations and glimmering lights that are incredible to look at in the dark. The season brings along a crazy few months- there are pumpkin patches to visit, apple picking activities with family, football games to be watched, and much more.
Held in Phoenix, the Arizona State fair is more than a century-long gathering that people travel from all over the state to attend. It’s fun and a perfect way to kick back after a hectic work or school day. There are blue ribbons, games that offer stuffed animals as prizes, fried food in abundance like funnel cakes and fried Oreos, and fun carnival rides you can hop on with your friends. If you’re going, you must try the funnel cake because it’s delicious.
You don’t want to miss out on the Strange Garden as it is a fall-favorite activity in Phoenix. The Desert Botanical Garden will hold this event during open garden hours only two days this year- October 21st and 22nd. Dress your kids up in their Halloween best so they can get their groove on at the Monster Bash. The garden even allows kids 12 or younger to take pumpkins home.
